General Questions

Basic information about MyPocketPlant

What is MyPocketPlant?

MyPocketPlant is a unique app that combines real plant adoption with gaming. You adopt a real plant grown by local farmers, track its growth through daily photos, and battle with its Digital Twin. Every plant adoption supports farmers and helps feed communities while making a positive environmental impact.

How does MyPocketPlant work?

First, choose and adopt a real plant from our shop (Tier 1-5 rarity). Your farmer plants it and sends daily photos and updates. Meanwhile, a Digital Twin appears in your dashboard where you can view stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed), battle other players, and level up. Your real plant's growth affects your Digital Twin's stats.

How do I get started with MyPocketPlant?

Getting started is easy! Create an account at app.mypocketplant.com, browse our plant shop to find your perfect plant (Tier 1-5), and complete your monthly adoption. Once adopted, you'll receive daily updates, view battle statistics, and track your real-world impact.

Can I visit my plant?

To protect the privacy and workflow of our farmers, physical visits are not currently permitted. However, you can see daily photos and updates from your farmer showing your plant's progress.

Why is there a monthly adoption fee?

Farming requires daily labor, water, nutrients, and land. Your monthly adoption fee goes directly to paying the farmer for their time and resources to care for your plant and send you daily updates. You can cancel anytime.

Plants & Growth

Everything about plant adoption and care

What types of plants are available?

We offer plants across 5 rarity tiers (Tier 1-5), each with unique stats, abilities, and evolution paths. All plants are grown by local farmers using sustainable practices. Higher tier plants have better base stats but require more care and strategy to maximize their potential.

How do you care for my real plant?

Your plant is cared for by experienced local farmers from our network. They handle all real-world care including watering, fertilizing, and protecting your plant. You receive daily photos and updates so you can see your plant's progress.

How do I track my plant's growth?

You'll receive daily photos and updates from your farmer showing your plant's progress. Your dashboard tracks growth milestones, health indicators, and stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, XP, Level). Your Digital Twin's stats grow based on real plant growth.

Is the plant actually real?

Yes! When you adopt a plant on MyPocketPlant, a real local farmer plants it in a real field or greenhouse. You receive daily photos and updates about your specific plant.

What if my real plant dies?

Nature can be unpredictable. If your plant dies due to natural causes (weather, pests), we will replace it with a new seedling of the same tier at no extra cost, and your Digital Twin stats will carry over. Your Digital Twin does not die!

Are the plants grown from seedlings or fully grown?

We plant your adopted plants from seedlings, not as fully grown plants like you see in the shop images. Your real plant grows alongside you, starting small and getting stronger over time. We're all about planting new trees to help the climate, not just adopting already-grown ones! The images in our shop show what your plant will look like when mature.

Gaming & Battles

Game features and battle system

How do plant battles work?

Plant battles are turn-based strategic games where your Digital Twin competes against others. Battles can be 1v1 duels or 3v3 team tournaments. Your plant's stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed), skills, and your strategic choices determine the outcome. Winning battles earns XP and helps you climb the leaderboard.

How does XP and leveling work?

Your plant gains XP from daily growth updates and battle victories. XP scales proportionally to the XP required for the next level, ensuring balanced progression. As you level up, your plant's stats increase and new abilities unlock. Track your progress on the dashboard and leaderboards.

How do leaderboards work?

MyPocketPlant features seasonal leaderboards ranking players by battle performance and XP earned. Climb the ranks by winning battles (1v1 and 3v3), earning achievements, and consistently caring for your plant. Top players earn exclusive rewards.

Is this Pay-to-win?

No, it is 'Grow-to-Win'. While you can adopt higher-tier plants (which have better base stats), winning battles requires consistent care, daily interaction, and strategy. A neglected Tier 5 plant can lose to a well-cared-for Tier 1 plant.

What battle formats are available?

We offer two battle formats: 1v1 duels where one plant faces another, and 3v3 team tournaments where you select three plants to battle as a team. Each format requires different strategies and team compositions.

Real-World Impact

Environmental and social impact

What environmental impact does MyPocketPlant have?

Every plant adoption contributes to environmental restoration. Our plants are grown using sustainable farming practices by local farmers, support local ecosystems, and help combat climate change. We've already grown over 210 plants, creating real positive change for the planet.

How does MyPocketPlant support farmers?

We partner with local farmers, providing them with fair monthly compensation for growing and caring for your plants. This supports agricultural communities, preserves farming knowledge, and helps farmers thrive in a changing economy.

How do harvest donations work?

When your plant matures and is ready for harvest, you can choose to donate it to an NGO or local charity to help families in need. Home delivery is coming soon! This ensures your plant makes a real difference in your community.

Can I track my environmental impact?

Yes! Your dashboard shows your green impact, including plants grown, environmental contributions, and community support. Every plant helps the Earth, every harvest helps people, and every game makes a difference.

Account & Payments

Adoption and account management

What payment methods do you accept?

We use Stripe for secure payment processing. Stripe accepts all major credit and debit cards. Your payment information is never stored on our servers - Stripe handles all payment security.

Can I cancel my adoption?

Yes, you can cancel your monthly adoption at any time from your account settings. Upon cancellation, you'll retain access until the end of your current billing period. Your Digital Twin and progress will be saved.

Can I delete my account and data?

Yes, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data at any time. Contact us at hello@mypocketplant.com to request account deletion. We'll process your request within 30 days as outlined in our Privacy Policy.

Can I adopt multiple plants?

Yes! You can adopt as many plants as you'd like. Each plant requires its own monthly adoption. Managing multiple plants gives you more options for team battles (3v3) and helps you make a bigger environmental impact.
