Partly fits

Water Plant－Watering reminderpartial · 58

It focuses on a per-species database of watering needs, but the core reminder-logging is less directly framed for forgetting across your whole collection.

Won’t cover: It emphasizes plant-variety guidance more than a straightforward multi-plant watering schedule to solve forgetting.

Let's Waterpartial · 54

It clearly provides watering reminders and easy completion from notifications, but it’s positioned around a Japanese-language experience.

Won’t cover: The listing is Japanese-language, which may be a mismatch if you want an English-first setup.
