Moving from Planta to Verdalia
This guide covers what comes with you from Planta and what stays behind, the three steps to bring your plants over, and an honest look at how the two apps differ on features and price.
What carries over
Comes with you
- Plant names
- Species
- Rooms
- Date acquired
- The last time you watered, fed, misted, cleaned or repotted each plant
- Notes
Each last date becomes the starting point of that plant’s schedule.
Stays behind
- Photos
- Care history older than the last date of each kind
- Planta’s own schedule settings
