Description
Most plant apps look up a species and set a reminder. Botanical Legacy keeps a Digital Shadow per Specimen: a model of one plant, rebuilt nightly from its photos, care log, weather and sensors. It drifts from the species when yours does, and stays drifted: after a few weeks the model believes your plant over the reference. When the watering date moves, you can open it and see what moved it. Free for 5, no card. Full export on every plan.

Could you build this?
No It attempts to run a continuous dynamic simulation/digital shadow of individual plant biophysics and phenotyping inferred nightly from sensor data, computer vision, and weather inputs.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an IoT data pipeline (weather APIs, soil/light telemetry) coupled with computer vision pipelines (segmentation, photogrammetry, canopy surface estimation) to infer plant growth metrics. These metrics must feed into a parameterized biophysical botanical model (e.g., dynamic transpiration, photosynthetic rate, and biomass accumulation models). Building a drifting individual specimen simulator requires specialized expertise in computational biology, plant physiology, and scientific state-estimation modeling.
