Plant Care Guide App

Abstract: The Plant Care Guide App is a mobile-based intelligent solution designed to assist users in maintaining the health and well-being of their plants. With the growing interest in home gardening and sustainable living, many individuals lack the necessary knowledge and tools to properly care for their plants. This application aims to bridge that gap by offering a comprehensive, user-friendly platform that provides plant-specific care information, including watering schedules, sunlight exposure, soil preferences, and fertilization needs. The app incorporates advanced technologies such as TensorFlow Lite for plant image recognition, enabling users to identify unknown plant species and diagnose common health issues through photo uploads. By integrating Firebase Firestore, the app ensures real-time data storage and synchronization, while Firebase Cloud Messaging enables timely, personalized care reminders. The digital plant diary feature allows users to track growth progress and maintain a care history for each plant. Developed using Android Studio with Java/Kotlin, the app also utilizes Material Design principles to offer an intuitive and aesthetically pleasing interface. Overall, the Plant Care Guide App enhances plant care experiences, promotes environmental awareness, and supports healthier, greener lifestyles through the use of smart technology. .
