Maluna knows what your garden needs right now.
Maluna connects your plants, your location and the current weather to give you concrete recommendations: plant care, garden jobs and seasonal tasks.
Today · Autumn
Your garden has little to do today.
12° · Rain from 3 pm, no need to water
- Lift the dahlias Due
The first frost is forecast for Thursday, and the tubers cannot take it.
- Trim the lavender Good timing
Dry until Wednesday, so the cuts heal before winter.
- Feed the lawn Can wait
The soil is still too warm for autumn fertiliser.
Gardening is a joy. Constantly second-guessing is not.
- Can I still prune the hydrangea now?
- Do I really need to water in this weather?
- Is it already too cold outside for the tomatoes?
- Why did pruning the roses by the calendar not work?
- What actually matters most in my garden right now?
- When is the right time to scarify the lawn?
Maluna answers these questions for your garden, not for an average one.
A garden calendar knows the date. Maluna knows your garden.
A garden calendar gives every plant the same date, regardless of location or weather. Maluna takes into account your garden, the recent weather and the care your plants have already had before suggesting a task. Same rose, same week: change the context and see how the recommendation changes.

Can wait: do not pruneFor your young rose by the house wall, pruning does not make sense right now: frost is forecast and the sandy spot has no winter protection yet.
Good timing: light shaping cutMild, dry days: the cuts dry quickly. The hard prune can wait until spring.
Can wait: let it root firstThe rose has been in the ground for two weeks. It needs at least one season before its first prune; watering matters more now.
Four things go in. One clear answer comes out.
Everything Maluna knows about your garden adds up to the answer to a single question: what needs doing now?

What to do now
Maluna shows you which task matters most right now, instead of a long list in no particular order.
- Lift the dahlias Due
- Trim the lavender Good timing
- Feed the lawn Can wait
Weather in context
In future, Maluna will connect rain, temperature, frost and heat to your plants, instead of just showing weather readings.
- Rain decides whether watering is needed
- Temperature determines when plants grow
- Frost postpones pruning
- Heat sets the right moment
Your garden
Bed, raised bed or balcony: in Maluna every plant has its place and its care history.

One question, one clear answer.
Autumn leaves in the garden: leave them or clear them?
Fallen leaves protect against cold, feed the soil and shelter wildlife. Where to leave them, where to clear them and why to skip the leaf blower.
Overwintering dahlias: when to lift and how to store them?
Dahlia tubers cannot take frost. Here is how to recognise the right moment to lift them and keep the tubers safe until spring.
Planting bulbs in autumn: timing and depth
Daffodils, tulips and crocuses need the autumn to grow roots. Here is how to pick the right month and plant the bulbs deep enough.
Born from a simple question.
Why do I have to find out for myself, for every plant, what to do and when?
Maluna grew out of that question, first as a tool for my own garden. Maluna is built in Switzerland, with gardening conditions in Switzerland and its neighbouring countries in mind.
