A demonstration vegetable garden in 3D in Hortenia: vegetable beds, an apple tree, sunflowers, a bench, a compost bin and a water butt

What Hortenia does for you

Week by week

A clear list of what to do today and this week, garden by garden. A reminder at the time you choose, only when there is something to do.

Your weather

Your forecast read for the garden: frost, heat, rain that saves you watering, and the best day to garden. Blight, mildew, rust and aphids: an alert when the weather favours them.

357 plant guides

Sowing, planting, spacing, companions, watering, harvest and storage for each plant, with varieties and common problems.

A gardening community

Share photos and ask questions. Posts written in another language are translated automatically.

Hortenia Plus

For gardeners who want more: HortenIA, the garden assistant that answers questions about your own plants, photo diagnosis of a sick plant, frost, heat, heavy rain and strong wind alerts the evening before, calculators for soil amendments, pH and plant feeding, a garden shared with someone close, and your garden in 3D. Plus comes with a free trial and can be cancelled at any time from your store account.

Questions

Is Hortenia free?

Yes. Your garden, the weekly planning, the plant guides and the community are free. Hortenia Plus adds the assistant, photo diagnosis, weather alerts the evening before, garden sharing and the 3D view.

Does it work where I live?

Hortenia uses the weather forecast for the location of your garden, so tasks and alerts follow your local climate rather than a generic calendar.

Which languages does the app speak?

English, German, Spanish and French. The app follows the language of your phone, and you can change it in the settings.

Can I garden with someone else?

Yes, with Hortenia Plus. Share a garden with someone close and you both see the same plants and the same tasks.
