Frequently asked questions

Permapotes helps you organise your vegetable garden: discover plants, plan tasks, draw your garden plan and connect with a community of gardeners.

You can start for free and tailor the tools to your garden and climate zone.

Yes. The free plan already lets you explore growing guides, plan your garden and take part in the community.

The Subscription page details the additional features of the paid plan.

XP reflect your gardening experience on Permapotes. They move you through levels, from Seedling to Sage, without unlocking paid features.

You earn XP by taking useful actions:

• publishing a question or a community post: +15 XP (up to twice a day);
• adding a comment: +5 XP, or replying to a comment: +8 XP (up to 10 times a day for each action);
• creating your first garden plan: +150 XP;
• completing a calendar task: +3 XP (up to 15 times a day);
• passing an Academy lesson with at least 80% correct answers: +40 XP, once per lesson and up to one rewarded lesson per day.

Your first eligible action of the day also gives a +20 XP bonus. All combined rewards are capped at 150 XP per day: once you reach that cap, you can still take actions but they will not earn XP until the next day.

Your level, total XP and distance to the next milestone are visible on the home page and your profile.
