HortusFox is a free, MIT-licensed, self-hosted collaborative plant management and tracking system built in PHP with MariaDB. It lets plant enthusiasts manage plants by location, track care tasks, keep journals, manage inventory, and collaborate via group chat, with features like reminders, weather, plant identification, and a REST API.

Use cases

• track and journal my houseplants
• self-hosted plant care app with reminders
• manage plant collection across home locations
• collaborate with family on plant care tasks
• keep an inventory of gardening supplies
• identify plants and log their growth
• private alternative to plant tracking apps

When to choose

• you want full control and privacy over your plant data via self-hosting
• you need collaborative multi-user plant management with chat and tasks
• you want a free open-source plant journal with photos, history, and calendar
• you prefer a self-hosted app with a REST API for integrations

When to avoid

• you need eCommerce or commercial nursery management features
• you cannot run PHP 8.3 and MariaDB or use Docker
• you only need a simple single-plant reminder without server setup
