PlantCare. Your plant care journal.
Know the next safe pruning move before you cut.
PlantCare helps home gardeners photograph one supported plant, confirm the pruning guide, and review one conservative next move before cutting. Save the decision to your private garden journal and come back for follow-up reminders.
PlantCare is the current product name; TrimIt is the former name retained in this web address and App Store link.
Confirm the guide Strong, likely, or manual match
Review the supported pruning guide before relying on the recommendation.
Save the next move Journal and reminders
Keep the plant, goal, date, next move, and follow-up context in one place.
Capture three useful views
Photograph the whole plant, a leaf, and the bark or stem, then confirm the closest supported pruning guide.
Choose the goal
Pick the job in front of you: more blooms, airflow, deadwood removal, size control, shaping, or repair.
Get one next move
Review a conservative recommendation with what to do, what to avoid, why it matters, and when to follow up.
Three photos decide a pruning case
For a hydrangea, a whole-plant frame records height, shape, and crowded branches; a leaf frame records close detail; a bark or stem frame shows the area where a cut may leave weak wood. The user picks a goal, such as airflow or size control, before the on-device workflow evaluates the capture set. PlantCare is a one-time purchase.
The capture set comes back with one of three answers: consider a branch for the selected goal, collect another view, or send the case for human review. A ladder, overhead limb, utility line, heavy branch, suspected disease, or cut above safe reach goes to a qualified professional. An uncertain guide or major proposed cut leaves the case pending.
Conservative guidance for common home garden plants.
PlantCare is for reachable homeowner pruning decisions. It is not for ladders, overhead limbs, utility lines, heavy branches, or any cut that needs an arborist.
