Keep a plant journal that grows with your collection.
Plantly gives each plant a place for photos, notes, measurements, milestones, and care history. A plant journal keeps the story attached to the right profile, while rooms, QR tags, cuttings, and family trees help you organize a growing collection.

Record growth with photos and measurements
A dated photo is easier to compare than a memory of how a plant looked last month. Keep photos with notes and measurements in the plant journal and record milestones as the plant develops. Use a similar angle for comparison photos when possible, and describe changes you want to remember, such as a new leaf, a different location, or a care adjustment.
Find the right plant with locations and QR tags
Several plants of the same species can still have different histories. Assign each one to a room and exact spot, and use a QR tag to open the matching plant directly. This helps connect a real pot with the correct profile when you are reviewing its journal or recording care, especially in a shared collection.
Connect cuttings and plant family trees
When your collection expands through propagation, Plantly can connect a cutting to its parent plant. Family trees preserve that relationship while individual profiles keep each plant’s own location, journal, and care. The journal also gives later health checks and household discussions context about what changed and which plant the observations belong to.
How to get started
Create an individual plant profile
Save the species and assign a room and exact spot so similar plants remain easy to tell apart.
Add a journal entry
Keep a dated photo, note, or measurement with the plant and record a milestone when it matters.
Keep the collection connected
Use a QR tag for direct access and link propagated cuttings to their parent plant.
Frequently asked questions
What can I keep in a Plantly plant journal?
You can keep photos, notes, measurements, and milestones alongside the plant’s care history.
Can I track two plants of the same species separately?
Yes. Each plant has its own profile, location, journal, and care history.
Can Plantly link a cutting to its parent plant?
Yes. Cuttings and family trees connect propagated plants to their parent while keeping individual plant profiles.
