Blossom vs Indoor Plant Care FAQ
Why does Blossom only allow 2 reminders on the free tier?
It's a common tactic: make the free tier so limited it's essentially unusable. We think that's the wrong approach. Plant care apps should help you care for plants, not force you into a subscription just to set basic reminders.
Is Indoor Plant Care as pretty as Blossom?
We've put significant effort into our botanical design theme. But honestly, we prioritize function over pure aesthetics. Our goal is helping your plants thrive and your household coordinate — that's where we invest most heavily.
Does Indoor Plant Care have a plant shop like Blossom?
Not currently. We're focused on helping you care for the plants you already have, especially in shared living situations. Plant shopping partnerships are on our long-term roadmap, but it's not our priority.
I like Blossom's care tips from The Spruce. Where do your tips come from?
Our care information comes from our AI, which synthesizes knowledge from botanical sources and adjusts recommendations based on your specific plant and conditions. When you get a health check, you receive personalized advice — not generic articles.
