Per-plant intervals
A cactus and a fern need very different schedules, and both fit here.
Give each houseplant its own watering interval, tap a button when you water it, and see at a glance which ones are due today and which are already overdue.

Press Watered today and the countdown resets automatically.
Plants sort themselves so the ones that need you appear at the top.
Add each plant once with the interval that suits it, then just tap as you go round with the watering can.
Far more houseplants die from overwatering than from neglect. The usual cause is watering on a rigid weekly habit rather than in response to the plant. A tracker helps not because a schedule is correct, but because it tells you when it is worth checking — and a quick finger in the soil is a better test than any calendar.
Push a finger two to three centimetres into the soil. If it is damp, wait. The interval is a reminder to check, not a command.
A plant in a bright south window will drink far faster than the same species in a dim corner, even in the same room.
Terracotta breathes and dries faster than plastic, and a chunky aroid mix dries faster than dense compost.
Most houseplants need dramatically less water in winter, when light is low and growth has effectively paused.
Questions about intervals, seasons and what overdue means.
It depends on the species, the pot, the light and the season. Most common houseplants sit somewhere between every five and every fourteen days, and nearly all of them prefer being slightly too dry to slightly too wet.
Usually yes. Growth slows in low light and cool temperatures, so many plants need watering half as often between November and February. Edit the interval seasonally rather than sticking to one number all year.
It means more days have passed than the interval you set for that plant. It is a prompt to check the soil, not an instruction to water — the interval is your estimate, the soil is the evidence.
Yes. Each plant carries a location label, which makes it easy to water everything in one room in a single pass.
