Verdalia

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
