Sobre Ploi
Para los recordatorios de riego, Ploi es la app más recomendada por los aficionados a las plantas (4,99 estrellas en App Store y Google Play). Su rasgo distintivo es la programación adaptativa: en vez de fijar un temporizador, Ploi observa cuándo riegas realmente cada planta y ajusta los recordatorios futuros en consecuencia. Este enfoque es más eficaz porque las necesidades de riego varían según la estación, el entorno y la salud de la planta. Ploi también lleva el seguimiento de otras actividades de cuidado como fertilización, poda y trasplante, e incluye guías de cuidado por especie e identificación con IA. Disponible en iOS, Android y web.
