A friend was looking for an app so I explored some FOSS ones. It might be helpful to take it a step further and self host it so that family members can coordinate care.

I saw this which looks interesting

Open to regular FOSS apps as well!

What fresh hell is this Didn’t see the Readme link at first pass

There is plant-it written in Java and HortusFox written in PHP. Both using MySQL. Is there anything available which is written in Go or Rust and uses SQLite?

Doesn’t look like it, but you can be the one writing one.

I use home-assistant and a esphome device as a Bluetooth proxy to track plants with some Bluetooth devices (MiFlora I think)

I only know of plant-it and hortusfox. I tried both.

I find plant it to be superior. Also, the dev is very nice and open to suggestions and usually implement them pretty quickly.

YMMV

I look over once a day.

Herding plants is called ‘slow life’ for a reason.
