Keep plant observations and care tasks in one printable reference. The Plant Rescue & Care Toolkit includes symptom decision trees, blank care cards, watering and feeding trackers, and repotting worksheets. Twelve dollars, once, yours forever.
What it is, and what it isn't
It is a set of printable pages: decision trees, care cards, trackers and worksheets you fill in by hand or in a PDF annotator. It works on its own — no account, no app, no connection.
It is not software and it does not diagnose your plant. Nothing in it replaces looking at the plant, and a photo analyzer cannot confirm a diagnosis either. Think of it as the paper version of the routine the site describes.
What's inside
- Symptom decision trees — yellow leaves, brown tips, drooping, spots, pests: follow the branches from observations to possible causes and next checks.
- Printable care plan cards — one page per plant: water, light, feed, humidity, notes. Fill from any encyclopedia page in minutes.
- Watering & feeding trackers — 12-month grids so you stop guessing when you last watered.
- Repotting worksheets — pot-size math, soil recipes, and aftercare checklists (pairs with our pot size calculator).
- New-plant quarantine checklist — the store-inspection routine from our shopping guide, as a printable form.
- Free lifetime updates — every future edition lands in your Gumroad library at no extra cost.
Try the approach before buying
Use the free problem checklist and care journal first. The paid toolkit is a printable companion; neither it nor a photo result can confirm a diagnosis. The button opens Gumroad so you can inspect contents and purchase terms before paying.
Who it's for
- Beginners who own 3–10 plants and want a repeatable way to track care.
- Busy households where “did anyone water the monstera?” is a weekly mystery.
- Collectors hitting 20+ plants who need systems, not memory.
- Gift buyers — printable records for someone building a care routine.
How it works with the free site
Everything on AI Planter stays free: the photo analyzer, calculators, 282 care records, and the article archive. The Toolkit is the printable, offline, fill-in companion — use the analyzer for a visual suggestion, the encyclopedia to learn, and the Toolkit pages to run the routine week after week.
- Identify — use the on-device photo analyzer or browse the plant finder.
- Read the care record — open the plant's page in the encyclopedia for water, light, soil and toxicity.
- Write it down — one toolkit card per plant, then the watering and feeding grids.
Free site vs the toolkit
| Something you need | Free site | Toolkit |
|---|---|---|
| A plant suggestion from a photo | Yes, on your device | — |
| Care record for 282 plants | Yes | Condensed into one page per plant |
| Watering, soil, light calculators | Yes, 15 tools | Blank grids to write the results on |
| Symptom troubleshooting | Problem checklist tool | Decision trees that branch to the next check |
| Works offline, on paper | Partially, as a PWA | Yes, printed |
| Your records | Care journal on this device | Handwritten, yours to keep |
Who it's not for
If you want an app that pings you and you never print anything, the free care journal does that job. If you own one low-maintenance plant and water it on a Sunday, you probably do not need a system.
Price and what happens after checkout
$12, one-time. Gumroad handles the payment; the download link arrives by email immediately and stays in your Gumroad library, so you can re-download it later. No subscription, no upsell sequence.
Frequently asked questions
What format is the Toolkit?
A downloadable PDF (655 KB) that prints cleanly on US Letter and A4. Fill it by hand or in any PDF annotator.
How do I receive it?
Instantly via Gumroad after checkout — download link plus permanent library access for re-downloads and free updates.
Is there a refund policy?
Gumroad handles payments securely. If the Toolkit isn't useful, contact us within 30 days and we'll make it right.
Do I need it if the site is free?
No — the site stays fully free. The Toolkit just turns advice into printed routines: trackers, cards, and decision trees you can stick on the fridge.
How many plants is it designed for?
It scales from one plant to a full shelf: print one care card per plant and reuse the same grids. Most people start with the three or four plants they keep meaning to sort out.
Can I use it on a phone or tablet instead of printing?
Yes. It is a PDF, so any annotation app works. Printing is the intended use — the pages are laid out as forms — but handwriting is optional.
Will I get updates?
Future editions land in the same Gumroad library, so your original link keeps working. Nothing is time-limited.
