About Plantbaes

Plantbaes is a free site for houseplant owners who want practical help with watering, light, pots and soil. Its tools include a watering schedule builder, a low-light plant finder, a repotting pot size calculator, a soil mix calculator, a fertilizer dilution calculator and a light meter converter, with a printable care card for each plant.

The site is built around the idea that most houseplant problems come from too much water, too little light, the wrong pot or the wrong soil. Rather than fixed rules like watering every Sunday, the tools ask about plant type, the light where it sits, pot size and material, and season, then suggest a starting point with the reasoning shown.

Alongside the tools, the site publishes plant-by-plant guides covering monstera, pothos, snake plant and many others, with sections on light, watering, soil, repotting and common problems such as yellow leaves and brown tips. The content is written by a small independent editorial team of houseplant keepers.
