What is the Olí app for, and can I grow without it?

The short answer? Yes—but you'd be missing the smartest part of the whole system.

What does the Olí app actually do?

The app isn't just an extra feature. It's both the control centre and your personal growing assistant.

Through the app, you tell Oliver which plants you've planted—and that's what brings the whole system to life.

Based on that information:

• the lighting knows exactly how to adapt to each plant
• Oliver automatically creates the ideal growing conditions
• you receive clear, timely guidance on what to do and when

No guessing. No endless searching. No trial and error.

It helps you from day one

Before you even have a chance to wonder, "Am I doing this right?", the app guides you through:

• planting your capsules correctly
• arranging them so your plants have enough space
• the key things to watch out for when getting started

It supports you throughout the entire growing cycle

As your plants grow, the app keeps track of everything and lets you know:

• when it's time to refill the water
• when to start pruning herbs to encourage healthy growth instead of flowering
• if there's a potential problem—and how to prevent it
• when it's time to harvest

Smarter lighting

Without the app, Oliver doesn't know what you're growing.

With the app, it does.

That means:

• the lighting is tailored to the specific plants in your garden
• each plant receives exactly the light it needs

Without the app, Oliver switches to a universal lighting mode.

It works—but it isn't fully optimised.

A few extras you'll appreciate

The Olí app also gives you access to:

• all user guides in one place
• growing tips and inspiration
• recipe ideas and creative ways to use your fresh herbs

So you're not just growing plants—you'll know exactly what to do with them, too.
