Plant care tools & calculators.
Plan a potting mix, compare light readings, record watering measurements, and find practical checks for plant symptoms and pet exposure. Each tool explains its assumptions and limits.
Plant Watering Observation & Volume Worksheet
Summarize your recorded drying intervals and compare measured water poured with runoff. No preset schedule or invented dose.
What it’s for: Plan moisture checks and record a measured water difference; this tool cannot prevent root rot or predict water use.
Potting Soil Mix & Aggregate Ratio Calculator
Interactive batch generator for coarse aroid mixes, mineral succulent gritty mixes, moisture-retentive fern substrates, and herb blends.
What it’s for: Scale ingredient volumes in US quarts, cups, liters, and milliliters. Ingredient percentages do not measure porosity.
Houseplant Light Level & DLI Calculator
Calculate DLI from measured PPFD periods or convert lux and foot-candles. Window direction does not generate a brightness reading.
What it’s for: Compare light readings and learn the assumptions; this tool cannot certify that a location suits a species.
Houseplant Pet Toxicity Quick Directory
Search 30 common indoor plants and review reported toxicity for cats and dogs, with poison-center contacts.
What it’s for: Filter plant listings by reported risk and find help after a suspected exposure.
Interactive Plant Problem & Symptom Checker
Explore possible causes using leaf symptoms and soil moisture, with practical inspection steps and clear limits.
What it’s for: Find what to check next; this tool cannot confirm a disease or prescribe a cure.
