Weather-aware watering
Fern checks your local forecast before it reminds you. Rain on the way? It skips the nag and tells you why.
Your plants,
in a chat.
Text Fern about your plants. It remembers every one, watches your weather, and nudges you when something needs care. No app to install, nothing to learn.

Tell it about a plant
"I just got a basil" is enough. Fern figures out what it is and what it needs.
-
Let it nag you (gently)
A morning check-in tells you what needs water today — and skips the days when rain will do it for you.
What Fern does.
Everything a plant app does, without the app. It lives where you already text.
Remembers every plant
Names, rooms, pot sizes, when you last watered. Ask "how's Monty doing?" and it actually knows.
Knows your species
Say what you've got — or send a photo — and Fern looks up what that plant actually needs to thrive.
One morning message
A single daily check-in with what needs attention — not one notification per plant, per hour.
Log care by chatting
"I watered the basil yesterday" is a log entry. No forms, no buttons, no guilt-inducing streaks.
Windowsill to garden
One basil on a desk or forty pots on a balcony — indoors, outdoors, and everything in between.
The community garden.
Real plants from real people — new leaves, first tomatoes, rescued ferns. One photo per post, no doomscrolling. Browse without an account; share with your Fern login.
