Plottum garden planning platform visualizing companion planting, spacing, and climate based garden optimization
Plottum today announces the launch of its comprehensive garden planning and management platform, designed to help home gardeners plan smarter, grow healthier plants, and make better decisions throughout the growing season. By combining established horticultural research with modern data science and artificial intelligence, Plottum introduces a new way to design, manage, and understand garden plots of any size.
At its core, Plottum is built to solve a familiar problem for gardeners. While interest in gardening continues to rise, many gardeners struggle with spacing, plant compatibility, timing, and long term garden organization. Traditional advice is often fragmented across books, charts, and online forums, leaving gardeners to manually piece together complex information. Plottum brings these elements together into a single interactive system.
The platform begins with an intuitive garden mapping experience. Users can create a visual layout of their garden using a drag and drop grid system that represents raised beds, containers, or open plots. The system automatically calculates spacing requirements and supports both simple and advanced layouts. A beginner friendly Simple Mode offers a centered grid for quick planning, while Architect Mode unlocks an infinite canvas for detailed designs that include structures, paths, and garden features.
Plottum’s planning engine is powered by companion planting logic. Companion planting is the practice of growing certain plants together for mutual benefit, such as pest control, improved growth, or better pollination. Plottum evaluates plant combinations in real time, identifying beneficial pairings while warning users about antagonistic relationships that may reduce yield or plant health.
This intelligence is reinforced by a Companion Score and Conflict Resolution system. As users arrange plants, Plottum assigns compatibility scores based on established horticultural data. When conflicts arise, the system provides clear guidance to help users adjust their layouts without guesswork. This allows gardeners to make informed decisions while maintaining creative control over their designs.
Maximizing yield is another core focus of the platform. Plottum includes a Max Yield Algorithm that increases planting density by up to twelve percent using optimized hexagonal spacing patterns. This feature helps gardeners make better use of limited space, particularly in raised beds and urban environments, without compromising plant health.
Environmental factors are also deeply integrated into the planning process. Plottum incorporates USDA hardiness zone data to guide planting dates and variety selection based on local climate. Solar Intelligence and shadow casting simulations model how sunlight moves across the garden throughout the season, accounting for structures, orientation, and time of year. This helps gardeners place sun loving and shade tolerant plants in the most appropriate locations.
Pest and disease awareness is addressed through Blight Radar, a community driven reporting system that visualizes pest and disease activity in nearby areas. Using heat maps and proximity filtering, gardeners can see emerging issues and take preventive action before problems spread. Severity levels and pest categorization add further clarity, while real time updates keep information current.
Plottum also supports Integrated Pest Management principles by encouraging natural and biological controls rather than chemical dependence. By combining companion planting, biodiversity focused layouts, and timely alerts, the platform helps gardeners reduce intervention while maintaining healthy crops.
Plant health monitoring extends beyond planning. The AI Health Scanner allows users to upload photos of plants and receive vision based diagnostics. This feature helps identify potential diseases or deficiencies early, enabling quicker response and reducing crop loss. While not a replacement for professional advice, it provides accessible guidance for everyday garden care.
Seasonal timing is another area where Plottum adds value. The pruning calendar tool generates personalized pruning schedules based on plant type and climate zone. By accounting for dormancy periods, flowering cycles, and local frost dates, Plottum helps gardeners prune at the right time for healthier and more productive plants.
Garden management continues after planting through a suite of tracking and organization tools. The Seed Inventory feature allows users to manage seed collections, track expiration dates, receive reorder alerts, and group seeds by category. Unit conversion between packets and grams helps simplify planning and purchasing.
Harvest tracking is handled through the Harvest Dashboard, where users can log yields by weight, compare results across seasons, and view plant breakdown charts. Estimated market values provide insight into the economic return of home gardening, while export options allow gardeners to analyze data outside the platform if desired.
Plottum also includes tools for collaboration and sharing. Garden layouts can be shared publicly or kept private, and users can generate shareable links for friends or the community gallery. PDF export functionality produces printable field planting guides with coordinates and seed lists, supporting offline use in the garden.
The platform is designed to scale with gardeners as their experience grows. Beginners can start with simple layouts and basic guidance, while advanced users can explore detailed simulations, data driven insights, and long term garden planning strategies. Plottum emphasizes clarity and usability, avoiding unnecessary complexity while still offering depth for those who want it.
Plottum positions itself not as a replacement for gardening knowledge, but as a tool that amplifies it. By translating proven research into actionable guidance, the platform bridges the gap between theory and practice. Its design reflects an understanding that gardening is both a science and a personal craft.
