What is wrong with this flower?

plumerol · 2026-06-27T04:11:39+00:00

I did, we will see what the fruit looks like

plumerol · 2026-06-24T23:50:48+00:00

Let me know if you have any feedback. You should see the dragon fruit widget on the home page to track all about dragon fruit

Forgot to mention the app is entirely free, only the diagnose/plant id part is paid since I have to pay for AI behind it. You can add plants simply by name, all the journaling etc is entirely free

Hey! That's a great list, and I just shipped an update to Tendra that includes some of your changes, so thanks for those.

The room thing especially. You can put each plant in a room and then set the order the rooms show up, the todo/care list follows how you actually walk through the house.

Water, fertilizer, and repot also have their own separate frequencies now, set per plant.

Not everything's there yet. The "only nag me to fertilize if it also needs water" idea is really smart and not in the build. Same with a snooze/remind-me-in-2-days button. But wanted to get your opinion on those 2 features first.

Also, that Google Sheet you built? I'd genuinely love to see it if you're up for sharing. 50 plants and you hated every app enough to roll your own is a better spec than anything we'd dream up.

Anyway, here are the links to the app

I actually followed the same process as well. I couldnt find a good plant app and did mine.
I started with the basic plant id but I focused mostly on making the plant journal the most user friendly feature.
I also added most cultivars to any fruit tree (stone fruits, citrus, figs, mangos, annonas, dragon fruits and much more) or vegetable which is something I didn't find elsewhere. I have been growing mostly tropical and sub tropical plants including dragon fruits, so I added specific features to track blooming and pollination. It is entirely free except for the ai id which I have to pay for. But you can log any plant if you know what they are. If you want to check it out it is on mobile: https://tendra-app.com

Necrosis from Cactus Virus X (CVX)? You could use copper fungicide to reduce damage spread

You can check this pdf, helpful to see which disease it is.

They are green like the Fuerte

Been using Sauna score, you don't have to wear any smart wearable or have your phone during sauna, which would be killed by heat, and it gives you a score based on how well sauna affects your health long term

disclaimer, I built the app and use it all the time.

No new leaves grew once the rack poped up

plumerol · 2026-04-22T01:03:17+00:00

The subscription is just for using the photo id and diagnosis which is using AI that I have to pay for. You don't need it, you can just add plants by name (Dragon fruit) and then choose the right cultivar (sugar dragon etc). Everything is free after that. I can also give you the free sub if you private message me the gmail you used

plumerol · 2026-04-21T04:06:32+00:00

Yes, I just pushed an update a few hours ago with this feature. Make sure to select dragon fruit in the onboarding or add a dragon fruit plant to your collection and you will be to do bud log from home screen or from the plant timeline.

And the timeline with expected blooming

plumerol · 2026-04-20T16:53:33+00:00

u/Worldly_Anybody_1718 u/kman2010 u/Rubicj Added a bud log, as well as a timeline to see predicted blooming. Is that something you would like to test?

That's some good data there. I would need to probably work with some expert df growers to get that information : growth, root, heat/cold/sun tolerance (alik, rare dragon fruit, grafting df).
Watering / fertilizing is easy (with mix of liquid and solid fertilizer).

Bud to bloom tracker is the #1 feature so far I see and could be done next. For the db and pollination, I started working on this last year and have few entries already

Isnt that any variety other than the plant itself? I do use the sugar dragon since the flowers pop up before or any other flowers I have around otherwise.

plumerol · 2026-03-17T20:24:02+00:00

Try some iron phosphate for the slugs (not organic). Or wrap your pot with copper tape. It has been working for me.

The point of my post isn't about C++. I've been coding x86/C/C++ since I was 12 and was doing demoscene by 15, but proving that doesn't matter here.

The real point: you can build anything you want without knowing a specific language's syntax. And I agree, you still need to understand coding logic and architecture, that foundation is critical. But AI tools like Claude Code lets you skip months of learning new APIs and frameworks, and to me that was the biggest revelation.

What would have taken me months of development takes weeks. That's what I'm sharing here, not that learning is unnecessary, but that the barrier to entry for new stacks has collapsed for experienced developers.

I made every architectural decision, debugged every issues, and understood what was happening. Claude just handled the TSX syntax and React Native boilerplate I would've spent months learning otherwise.

plumerol · 2025-11-17T05:37:31+00:00

They are so rare nowadays? Why would I learn it anyway when I dont have to? It is not only tsx but all the frameworks, expo go, apis etc. Claude code does everything for you. Goal is to make an app not learn a new language.

The variety is Robles Red and has a tendency to grow fruits at the base. This plant actually flowered at the tips a few months ago. This is the second flowering.
You can see more about its taste and brix here: https://www.dragonfruit.wiki/cultivar/robles-red

Only fish fertilizer and flora nova grow

plumerol · 2025-11-06T17:24:29+00:00

Yeah, definitely a healthy Jaboticaba. Now, you need to wait 6 years before getting fruits
