Photo updates
You can attach a photo to an update and document how a plant looks at that moment. Over time, the photos build into a visual growth history that is nice to browse. The time between photo updates is shown between them. The time between photos is calculated from the update dates, not from photo metadata.
Photos are stored locally on your device and are not moved away from it without your knowledge.
By default, the most recent photo becomes the plant’s cover image. You can turn this off in plant settings if you want to keep a specific cover photo fixed. This is useful when the plant is in a less photogenic state, but you want to keep a nice photo as the cover. That makes it easy to keep taking photo updates without affecting how the plant cards look on the home screen.
Photos can also be saved directly to the device gallery when they are taken. Turn this on in Kasvia settings under Settings → Photos. Note that old photos are not moved to the gallery automatically; only photos taken after enabling the setting are saved there.
With Kasvia Plus, you can attach up to four photos to a single update event.

Common questions
How do I add a photo to a plant?
Open the plant and tap + to add an event. Choose Update, then tap the photo icon to attach an image from your camera or photo library.
Can I save photos to my device's photo library?
Yes. In Settings → Photos, enable the option to save camera photos to your device library. Note this only applies to photos taken with the camera, not photos imported from your library.
My plant's cover photo keeps changing. How do I fix it?
Open the plant's settings from the gear icon and go to Cover Photo. Choose 'Keep current cover photo', and your selected photo will stay in use until you change it yourself.
