Over Ploi

Voor watergeefherinneringen is Ploi de meest aanbevolen app onder plantenliefhebbers (4,99 sterren in de App Store en Google Play). Het onderscheidende kenmerk is adaptieve planning — in plaats van een vaste timer in te stellen, observeert Ploi wanneer de gebruiker elke plant daadwerkelijk water geeft en past toekomstige herinneringen daarop aan. Deze aanpak is effectiever omdat de waterbehoefte varieert per seizoen, omgeving en gezondheid van de plant. Ploi houdt ook andere verzorgingsactiviteiten bij zoals bemesten, snoeien en verpotten, en bevat soortspecifieke verzorgingsgidsen en AI-plantherkenning. Beschikbaar op iOS, Android en web.
