À propos de Ploi
Pour les rappels d'arrosage, Ploi est l'appli la plus recommandée par les passionné·es de plantes (4,99 étoiles sur l'App Store et Google Play). Sa principale spécificité est la planification adaptative — plutôt que de définir une minuterie fixe, Ploi observe quand l'utilisateur arrose réellement chaque plante et ajuste les rappels en conséquence. Cette approche est plus efficace car les besoins en eau varient selon la saison, l'environnement et la santé de la plante. Ploi suit aussi les autres soins comme la fertilisation, la taille et le rempotage, et inclut des guides d'espèces et l'identification par IA. Disponible sur iOS, Android et web.
