Our story
Easy, affordable, and eco-friendly:
PlantDoc® is a 100% biodegradable color change moisture meter made by a husband-and-wife team Daphne and Austin in Portland, OR.
How did we get here?
We got a bit sidetracked from our day jobs...
Once a banker, Daphne started a plant business (and had a baby!). At the same time Austin, a medical researcher, was investigating gaps in the realm of plant care products.
Here's what we found:
Affordable watering tools were expensive one-time use and made too much waste! Guided by our plant and research backgrounds - and chats with our plant shop customers - we set off on our entrepreneurial journey to discover and make a product business that makes a difference at home and for the environment.
