Water Plants Reminder App

Keep your plants alive with persistent watering reminders. Bumbi nudges you until you actually water them. No more crispy leaves.

The problem

Houseplants die slow, preventable deaths. Not from neglect in the dramatic sense, but from the kind of low-key forgetting that accumulates over weeks. You walk past the fiddle leaf fig every day and somehow do not notice the soil is bone dry until the leaves start drooping. Outdoor plants are even easier to forget because they are out of your direct line of sight. Different plants need different watering schedules, which makes it harder to build a single routine. The succulent needs water every two weeks, the fern needs it every three days, and the herb garden needs daily attention in summer. Dedicated plant care apps exist, but they tend to be overcomplicated with fertilizer schedules, light tracking, and botanical databases you never asked for.

How Bumbi solves this

Create a separate reminder for each plant or group of plants with similar needs. Fern: every three days. Succulents: every two weeks. If the reminder fires and you are nowhere near the watering can, it will try again later. No plant identification features. No soil moisture analysis. No community forums about leaf curl. Just reminders that match each plant on its own schedule. Your fiddle leaf fig stays hydrated, your herbs stay alive, and you stop finding crispy brown leaves every time you walk past the window.

Frequently asked questions

Can I group plants with similar watering needs?

Yes. Create one reminder called "Water living room plants" for all plants that need water every 3 days, and another called "Water succulents" for every 2 weeks. Group them however makes sense for your routine.

How do I handle seasonal watering changes?

Edit the reminder frequency as seasons change. Most plants need more water in summer and less in winter. Adjusting the interval in Bumbi takes a few seconds.

What if I am going on vacation?

Water all your plants before you leave and pause the reminders. When you return, unpause them. If someone is plant-sitting, you can keep the reminders active as a prompt to check in with them.
