Про Ploi
Серед шанувальників рослин Ploi — найпопулярніший застосунок для нагадувань про полив (4,99 зірки в App Store і Google Play). Його ключова перевага — адаптивний графік. Замість фіксованого таймера Ploi спостерігає, коли користувач насправді поливає кожну рослину, і коригує майбутні нагадування. Такий підхід ефективніший, бо потреби у поливі змінюються залежно від сезону, середовища і стану рослини. Ploi також відстежує інші дії — підживлення, обрізання і пересадку — і містить посібники з догляду та AI-розпізнавання. Доступний на iOS, Android і у браузері.
