Why This is an Opportunity

The houseplant community is enormous and obsessive — r/houseplants has 1.5M+ members. A floorplan builder with light calculations is a genuinely fun technical challenge, and plant people will absolutely pay for something that helps them stop killing their plants.

Key Pain Points

  • You keep buying plants and placing them based on vibes, then watching them slowly die
  • You have no idea how much light different spots in your apartment actually get throughout the day
  • Every plant care app tells you 'bright indirect light' but never helps you figure out WHERE that is in your home
  • You've rearranged your plants 5 times trying to find the right spot and it still feels like guessing

Original Discovery

Plant parents buy a new monstera, put it in a random corner, and then wonder why it's dying. Greenprint lets you draw a simple floorplan of your apartment, place your plants on it, and it shows you light exposure estimates based on window direction and distance. It tells you which plants are happy where they are and which ones are slowly dying in the dark. Think Feng Shui but for plants, backed by actual light science.
