PlantWay

Decision intelligence for plants.

The problem

Plant advice is generic. It rarely accounts for the site, the soil, the season or what the grower is actually trying to achieve, so the same guidance is given to a windowsill and a nursery bench.

Why it matters

Growing advice is written for plants in general. Every useful answer depends on this site, this soil, this season and what happened here last year.

What we built

A plant decision engine: identify the plant, understand the conditions it is in, and return the next best action — water, feed, move, prune, propagate or replace — with the reasoning and the outcome recorded.

Where it is now

In build. Early work with horticultural sources and grower feedback.
