What are the indicators I see in my garden?

Helpful garden indicators in Planter let you plan and manage your garden at a glance!

Compatibility indicators #

Compatibility indicators are the green and red circles (and quarter-circles) that sometimes appear between plants in your garden.

• Green circles between plants means they are companions and may benefit each other when planted together
• Red circles between plants means they are combative and may compete or share pests and diseases
• No circle between plants means they are neutral - neither companions nor combative
  🍅

  Red circles have a darker inner circle to help color-blind gardeners identify them

To toggle compatibility indicators on or off select the three dots icon ⋮ then select or de-select Show companion info

Plant spacing indicators #

Planter indicates how many plants should be planted per-square-foot by showing a number with an X and a white circle around it:

• 4x means 4 plants can be planted within one square foot of garden space
• Plants that need a square foot of space or more per plant do not have a spacing indicator - the size of the plant icon in the garden shows how many square feet the plant needs
  🌱

  If you change Planter to metric units plant spacings remain the same. Planter indicates how many plants can be planted per square foot (roughly 30cm x 30cm).

Notes and events indicators #

If you added a note or an event to a plant in your garden, a notes and events indicator   will appear on that plant:
