Soil ID

Discover your garden soil type using Soil ID. Choose a style or colour palette for your bed, and let Hota recommend a plant design for your space.

Plant ID

Hota’s Plant ID instantly identifies plants from a single photo and turns that information into a practical care plan tailored specifically to your garden.

When you scan a plant, Hota doesn’t just tell you the name. It combines the identification with data about your location, soil type, climate, and real-time weather conditions to build a personalised care schedule. So you know how to plant it, when to water, feed, and prune throughout the seasons, no generic advice.

Garden Care

Hota takes the guesswork out of watering by creating reminders based on your local weather and garden conditions.

Instead of fixed schedules, Hota looks at factors such as recent rainfall, temperature, and UV levels to determine when your plants actually need water. If it has rained, watering reminders may be delayed. During hot or dry periods, reminders adjust so plants stay healthy.
