The AI schedules for Hoyas are pretty crumby but if you set up a customizable schedule it’s pretty decent. I have a good chunk of a collection so it’s more of a reminder calendar for me. I can’t remember if I upgraded for a more customizable schedule or if it auto renewed for an annual subscription by accident 😅 either way I’m not unhappy with the sub

I’ve had premium for almost a year now and I think it’s helped my plants immensely! I have a lot of plants so the app helps me watering, fertilizing and cleaning consistently - which I never used to do. Plus I love seeing the progress of my plants. So, yes, I think it’s worth it.

I know that I have premium, but I don’t know the difference between having it, and not having it. Can you clarify this for me? TIA!

For me it helps keep me on track and not forget when you have a lot of plants. Sometimes it’s off but it’s pretty darn good and took me from a black thumb to a green thumb. I’ve now learned to know when plants is right or not but by doing the prompts it also changes and updates the algorithm and becomes for accurate with time based on how it’s potted etc. Helps me a lot since I’m a bit ADHD it keeps me on track

I’ve had premium over a year now and I enjoy it. I find it fairly helpful and I enjoy the community support as well. I will be renewing in a few weeks.

I've been considering it, I got this app this week I didn't know I could set customisable schedules. I will probably get it after a Month if I keep using normal

Stunning flower this is! In regards of the premium account…i have been using premium since 2021. I can honestly say that it has been extremely helpful! Definitely worth the money for me.
