Leafed: Plant Light & Care

Plant labels say "medium light" and "water when dry". Neither means anything in your home.

Leafed works out the light your plants actually get — from where you are on Earth, which way your window faces, what floor you're on, what stands opposite, and the glass in between. Then it tells you when to water, and why.

SURVEY A PLACE ONCE Point your phone at the window and Leafed reads the bearing off the compass. While you hold it level, the front camera also reads how bright it is there — no photo is taken or kept, only the brightness. Tell it the floor, the glazing, whether there's a balcony slab overhead. Every plant you put there inherits that calculation — and a plant 30 cm from the glass and one 3 m back get different answers, because they get different light.

WATERING THAT KNOWS WHAT'S IN THE POT Not a seven-day reminder. Leafed tracks how much water is actually in each pot and how fast this plant, in this spot, in today's weather, is using it. A splash counts as a splash. A tick you made by mistake can be taken back, even tomorrow.

RAIN THAT ALREADY FELL Leafed checks what actually came down over the last few days and works out how much reached each pot. A plant on the railing catches a shower the one against the back wall never feels, and nothing indoors gets any of it. Your watering moves on its own.

THE REST OF THE WEATHER Heat that shuts a plant down, cold nights that stop it drinking, wind that dries a pot faster than the temperature suggests, UV that burns a plant just moved outside, and dust that settles on leaves and costs them light. Each one arrives as a line about your plants, not a number about the sky.

THE YEAR AHEAD A spot that works in June can go dark by October. Leafed shows each place month by month against what a plant can take, and warns you weeks before it becomes a problem.

A LEAF THAT LOOKS WRONG Photograph it and Leafed checks what it sees against the light and watering at that exact spot — so the answer is about your plant, not a generic list of causes.

BUILT IN INDIA The plants sold at Indian nurseries, the light in Indian cities, the monsoon and the summer heat, in how it works rather than bolted on.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT KNOWS Every figure shows its working. Where something is unknown, Leafed says so instead of guessing. An account is optional — everything works on the phone alone, and your location is rounded before it reaches any weather service.

SUBSCRIPTIONS Leafed is free to try. Continuing access needs a plan, sized by how many plants you keep:

• Grower — up to 10 plants • Gardener — up to 30 plants • Unlimited — unlimited plants
