## Description

**Cheerful Plants** is a personal plant journal and care tracker that keeps your collection, photos, reminders, and care history in one place. Create custom watering reminders, log watering, fertilizing, pruning, repotting, pest treatments, and other tasks, then review each plant’s complete history over time.

Organize plants by location, tags, type, or arrangements, capture progress with a photo journal, and share care instructions with family or roommates. The app includes a Memory Garden for preserving the history of plants you no longer own. Cheerful Plants is not a plant identification or diagnostic app—it’s a flexible helper for staying consistent with the care you already provide. Free for up to five plants, with premium plans for unlimited collections.

## Review summary

Cheerful Plants is a strong care tracker and grow journal with helpful reminders and a clean, intuitive design, praised for ease of use and responsive support. However, recurring concerns include its subscription pricing, the mandatory phone-number sign-in, and an incomplete plant database that limits identification and discovery. Overall, it excels as a tracking tool for succulents and houseplants when users are comfortable with the cost and database depth.

### Pros

- Reliable care reminders for watering, fertilizing, and pest control, helping prevent under- and over-watering.
- Photo journal and growth tracking with the ability to log growth over time and note soil mixes.
- User-friendly, well-designed interface that is easy to use and well organized for multiple plants.
- Responsive customer support and ongoing feature improvements.

### Cons

- Subscription model with perceived high cost; many users would prefer a lifetime purchase.
- Requires a phone number to use, which some users view as a deal-breaker due to privacy concerns.
- Not an ID or diagnostic app; limited plant database and guidance for learning about new plants.
- Incomplete database and search capabilities; missing plants and limited discovery (e.g., desert rose).
- Occasional technical issues, such as photo loading/permission problems.
