FIND THAT PLANT and Relevant Recommendations

December 22nd, 2008 - Planted by Edith Harbaugh

Everyone has at least one. That plant, sitting on your desk, in your kitchen, in your back yard, or even worse, in your memory.

The plant you have no idea what it is. “It’s green….about 2 feet tall….has red blooms….and is prickly.” Now, with our new feature of Find THAT Plant, you can refine by Plant Type of Succulent, 2 feet tall, and has red blooms, and quickly see from the plant photos that you’re thinking of a Christmas Cactus! Try it, it’s addictive.

Once you’ve found a plant, add it to “My Plants” for future reference.

We know we have a 5,000+ plant library (with more plants added every day), but it can be overwhelming to see 1000+ recommendations at once.Now, in Recommendation mode we will only show you the “Top Plants” (most relevant and popular). Right from the top picks, you can also “See More like this” to browse more like a certain plant. After you’ve seen our top picks, you can click on “See All Recommended Plants” to see all your options.

We are constantly adding plants to our plant library. If you have a plant we don’t have, please send us an email to plants@plantsense.com, and we’ll add it.

Happy Growing!

MAC Support for the Holidays

December 18th, 2008 - Planted by Edith Harbaugh

Just in time for the holidays, I’m very pleased to announce that EasyBloom Plant Sensor now works with Mac OSX (10.4 and later). If you already own the PlantSensor and would like to put your PC back in the closet, you can download MAC support here: http://www.easybloom.com/support/support.html

If you’re considering buying an EasyBloom for a gift or for a friend, rest assured, you can Mac away!

Where’s Mac

December 1st, 2008 - Planted by Edith Harbaugh

We’re very happy that we’re cruising towards launch of Mac support. I have a MacBook myself, and feel lucky that I’ve gotten to use Mac for a few weeks as an internal tester. Last week, we gave our private Beta testers a Thanksgiving present—Mac software! So far, all the feedback from our private beta has been positive. If we continue to hear no issues, we’ll go into public beta next week, where anyone who owns the EasyBloom and has a Mac can volunteer to use the beta.

And after the public beta is…Availability! We’ve gotten many requests from people who want to give EasyBloom as a holiday present, and we’re trying our best to have Mac Support in 2008.
