Share plant care at home and while you are away.
Plantly supports shared household plant care and time-limited plant sitter handovers. Household members can care for the same collection, while a sitter can receive access for a specific date range and the plants included in the handover.

Coordinate care in a shared household
When several people look after the same collection, a shared calendar and care history make the routine easier to follow. Keep each plant’s species, location, and journal in one place so a household member can find the correct plant and understand its recent care. Record completed tasks where others can see the activity instead of relying on a separate message for every action.
Arrange a time-limited sitter handover
For a holiday or another period away, Plantly lets you hand over all or selected plants for a defined date range. Sitter access is time-limited and differs from ordinary household membership. Review the plants and dates before sharing the invitation, so the handover matches the collection the sitter is actually looking after.
Prepare the collection before you leave
Check that locations and plant profiles are current, review upcoming care tasks, and keep useful observations in the journal. A QR tag can open the right plant directly from its pot, which helps a sitter distinguish similar plants. Clear profiles and a current care history make the handover easier to follow and give you a record to review when you return.
