The positive response to the PlantMate prototype ignited a spark, leading us to establish PlantMate as a company.

PlantMate Kickstarter Campaign

Our PlantMate Kickstarter was such an incredible ride — over 500 backers jumped in and helped us smash our goal.

We Hear You

At Plantup, we listen. Every comment, idea, and bit of feedback from our community has helped shape PlantMate, our smart plant watering system. You’ve told us what works and what could be better — and we’ve taken it to heart. Our goal is simple: make plant care easier, smarter, and more sustainable, so your plants can thrive with less stress on you.

Visions Coming Alive

What started as a simple idea — making plant care easier — grew into something real with our first PlantMate prototype. Turning that vision into a working product wasn’t always easy, but every test, tweak, and late-night brainstorm brought us closer. Seeing our idea come to life showed us what’s possible when passion meets purpose.

Office Time

Moving into our very first office was a big milestone for us. It wasn’t fancy — just a space we could call our own. We built our little assembly line there, piece by piece, turning boxes of parts into the very first PlantMate units. It was scrappy, exciting, and the start of something much bigger. Also say hello to our office dog Mr. Darcy :D

Logistic And Shipping

Getting logistics in order was a whole new adventure. We set up shelves, organized storage, and kept tweaking our assembly line to make things run smoother. When the first pallets of shipment arrived for production, it felt like another huge step forward — seeing PlantMate go from our hands into the homes of plant lovers.

Production Is Live

PlantMate is now a finished product in active production. Our manufacturing is running at full capacity. We've also completed product photography and marketing materials, and are excited to bring PlantMate to plant lovers everywhere.
