How it works

Let your plants do the talking

Our clever, easy-to-use ecosystem gives your plants a voice, telling you exactly what they need – no green thumb required.

Simpler plant care starts here

Hub

Small but savvy, the Hub plugs into a wall outlet and can pair up to 40 Sensors. Its WiFi connectivity allows you to access updates from your plants from anywhere, any time.

App

The Willow app is where your plants deliver actionable alerts when they need care. It’s packed with features that make plant care a breeze.

Sensor

The Sensor seamlessly plants into your pot and tracks the 4 critical factors for plant health: water, light, temperature and humidity.

Soil moisture

How it works

The Sensor probes nestle into your soil, measuring moisture every 15 minutes. Willow factors in your plant’s needs, soil type, and seasonality so you never under or over water again.

What you'll get with Willow
  • Timely alerts to quench your plant’s thirst before it gets too dry.
  • Post watering feeedback so you’ll always know if your plant’s watering was too little, just right, or needs a better top-up next time.
  • Plant happiness score updated hourly in the app to keep tabs on your plant’s thirst any time of day.

Light

How it works

Out with the confusing terms of ‘bright indirect light’. The Sensor tracks your plant's light exposure (lux) every minute of the day to help you position your plant for steady, healthy growth.

What you'll get with Willow
  • Timely alerts if your plant is overexposed to light (helping you act fast to prevent leaf burn), or if your plant experiences a continued lack of light.
  • Tailored analysis to match your growth goal when choosing Thrive or Survive in your plant’s profile.
  • Plant happiness score updated hourly in the app to track your plant’s light needs.

Humidity & temperature

How it works

Built-in gauges measure humidity and temperature in your plant’s environment. Species-specific preferences and continued analysis allow you to create a comfortable environment for your plant.

What you'll get with Willow
  • Timely alerts when humidity and temperature levels aren’t ideal to avoid crispy leaf edges and sad, droopy plants.
  • Plant happiness score with hourly updates on your plant’s comfort levels in current conditions.
  • Expert in-app advice from our horticulturists on increasing or decreasing humidity in plant’s space.

How does Willow compare to other measuring solutions?

Most solutions measure just one thing — like moisture or sunlight — and give you a number without any context, leaving you guessing on what to do next. Willow knows your specific plant, understands its environment, and factors in things like location, seasonality, and weather. Then it turns all the complexities of plant care into simple, timely alerts that tell you exactly when and how to care for your plant.

Can I use the Sensor outside?

Our Sensor is intended for indoor use with houseplants only. The great outdoors can feature heavy rains or snow, prolonged harsh sunlight, or extreme temperature changes compared to the relatively controlled indoor environment. The tech inside the Sensor is safeguarded well for indoors but risks getting damaged in an outdoor setting.

Can I have one Sensor for multiple plants?

For the best Willow experience, use one Sensor per plant at a time. Your Sensor is paired up per your plant’s type in the app during setup so it can monitor your plant’s species-specific preferences. In the event your original plant is thriving and you’re feeling confident to switch the Sensor to another plant, you can easily move it! Just unpair it from the first plant in the app and pair it up with the new one.
