## Can AI make a care guide for all the plants I own?

Yes. List your plants in Google Sheets and ask Gemini to fill in light, water, pruning and pet safety for each one. As of October 2026, Fill with Gemini shows a web source for every cell, so you can check anything that looks off. If you only have a few plants, a quick list is enough. If you have a big yard or pets, ask for the full sheet with the pet safety and this month columns.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Column A of this sheet lists the plants in my yard and house. Add these columns and fill them for every plant: Sun or shade, How often to water, Best time to prune, When it blooms, Winter care, Safe for [MY PETS, e.g. a dog and two cats] (yes or no), One common mistake to avoid. My climate is [YOUR CLIMATE, e.g. cold winters and dry summers]. Fill each cell from web sources only. If a plant name is unclear or could mean two plants, write "check name" instead of guessing. Then add one last column called This month, with the one job each plant needs in [CURRENT MONTH, e.g. November].
```

## Step by step

1. Open a new Google Sheet and type your plant names in column A
2. Click Ask Gemini at the top right of Sheets
3. Paste the prompt and fill in your climate and pets
4. Click a cell's source to double-check anything that surprises you

## What you'll get

A care sheet for every plant you own, with light, water, pruning, pet safety and this month's job, and a source behind each cell.
