Balcony Plants

About Balcony Plants

Balcony Plants answers one question the weather app never will: what does tomorrow's weather do to the specific plants on your balcony, and what should you do about it tonight?

The problem

A balcony is its own microclimate. A south-west balcony can run 8–12°C (14–22°F) hotter than the forecast in summer, and an exposed pot on a high floor can run several degrees colder than the forecast low on a clear winter night.

The public forecast is measured over open ground and never describes your pocket of the building. Generic advice, water more or cover your plants, cannot tell you which of your plants is actually at risk tonight.

What we do

We model the balcony-pocket microclimate from your city, orientation, floor, and pot setup, then return a plain-language verdict per plant: ok, stressed, or in danger, each with the reason and one concrete action. It is a verdict you can act on, not a data dashboard you have to interpret.

Who it is for

Balcony and container gardeners who want a clear call on a hot or cold night without learning meteorology. The first check is free. A one-time purchase per balcony unlocks the full verdict and danger-day alerts. There is no subscription, no account, and no tracking profile.

The honest fine print

The model is an estimate, not a sensor on your railing. It is built to be usefully close and to warn you in the right direction, not to be exact to the degree. On a borderline night, err on the side of protecting the tender plants.
