Problem

Watering plants is sounds like an easy task.But this is not that much as easy we think.Many people end up with wilted and dead plants shortly after purchase.Being busy with numerous tasks, we sometimes ignore or forget very basic things and then regret not doing them on time.People forget to water plants on time or are unsure of how to properly care for these plants.

Solution

Provide an easy, simple, and beautiful plant watering reminder app for Plant Lovers. The easy-to-use interface distinguishes it from typical watering reminder apps that look outdated and overly-complicated.

Research & Analysis

User research focuses on understanding user behaviors, needs, and motivations through observation techniques, task analysis, and other feedback methodologies. For me user research is “the process of understanding the impact of design on an audience”.During my research stage i have interviewed some of the plant owners to understand their pain points. Also I have gone through comment sections of competitor apps to understand expectation of users needs.I discovered that people were mainly concerned about the “difficulty of maintenance” and “not remembering each plant’s watering schedule” in terms of whether to get plants or not.

Scenario

With common scenario’s in place, we were able to define detailed personas, using their vast data pool. The personas looked something like this:

The scenarios are as follows:

• User familier with plant type or name & how to care for them
• User has some knowledge about the types and/or names of plants and only a little bit about care
• User not aware about their plants or how to care for them
My aim was to create a useful app for all users regardless of their knowledge of plants and plant care.
