A Little Jungle on Every Page: Top 6 Plant Stickers for GoodNotes

A planner page can feel a lot like a windowsill: a few green things in pots make it look alive. Plant stickers do that on an iPad. A monstera in the corner of the week, a small cactus next to a to-do list, a watering can on the day the ferns need a drink. For a digital planner they have to be digital too: transparent PNGs or a GoodNotes file you place in a second and reuse every week, with no watering required.

Below are 6 plant sticker packs from Creative Fabrica I’d use in a GoodNotes planner, from a 100-piece succulent set and kawaii pots to real houseplants, plant care chores, monstera month titles and boho leaves. After the list: what to look for, how to build a plant care tracker, sticker ideas and how to add them in GoodNotes.

The 6 Best Plant Stickers I Found for GoodNotes

I skipped single clipart images, PNG designs for T-shirts and wall art, print-and-cut sheets for physical stickers, flower-only sets (they have their own list) and packs whose description never mentions a digital planner or an iPad app. Plant packs come first, then the plant care set, then titles and leafy frames.

TL;DR: 6 plant sticker packs for GoodNotes and other iPad note apps: 100 succulents and cacti, kawaii potted plants, named houseplants, plant care chores with a watering schedule, monstera month and weekday titles, and boho leaf sheets. Every pack is undated, and the cards say which ones include a GoodNotes file.

• Succulent & Cactus Digital Stickers – Best overall plant pack
• Kawaii Cute Potted Plant Stickers – Most loved kawaii plants
• Digital Stickers | Houseplants – Best for real houseplants
• Digital Sticker: Plantitas Chores P.1 – Best for plant care
• Monstera Deliciosa Month & Week Stickers – Best plant titles
• Boho Botanical Digital Stickers Set – Best boho leaves

Quick Comparison

Which Plant Stickers Fit Which Page

• One big pack for everything: the succulent and cactus set has 100 stickers in three styles, enough for a whole year of pages.
• A cute accent: the kawaii potted plants are bright and smiling, best as one small sticker next to a list.
• Your real plants: the houseplants pack has the monstera, pothos and snake plant by name, so a plant journal can show what is actually on your shelf.
• Plant care: the plant chores pack brings the watering can, the watering schedule and repotting.
• Titles and frames: the monstera titles head months and weeks, and the boho botanical sheets give you leafy frames for notes.

What I Look For in Plant Stickers

• Plants you recognize. A monstera with split leaves, a snake plant, a fat round cactus. Generic green blobs look like filler; real plant shapes make a page feel like a home.
• A pot, or a reason to be there. Potted plants sit nicely on the bottom edge of a box, and trailing vines hang from the top. Loose leaves work best as frames and corners.
• Made for the screen. Transparent PNGs or a GoodNotes file. Four of the six packs here include one, so you can copy stickers straight from the pages.
• A green that fits your planner. Sage and muted greens sit well on beige and white pages; bright kawaii greens pop on pastel ones. Pick one style per page.
• No dates. None of these packs has a year on it, and the monstera titles name only the month, so they work every year.

A Little Jungle on Every Page: How to Build a Plant Care Tracker

The title of this post is the idea: a little bit of green on every page, and one page that actually keeps your plants alive. Here is how I’d set up a plant care tracker in GoodNotes with these stickers:

1. One row per plant. Put a sticker of each plant at the start of a row: the monstera, the pothos, the snake plant from the houseplants pack. A sticker is faster to spot than a name.
2. Watering days. Draw a small box for every day of the month across the row. Tick it, or drop a tiny watering can from the plant chores pack, on the day you water. After a few weeks you see which plant drinks every 5 days and which one only every 2 weeks.
3. Repotting and feeding. Add a column for the date of the last repotting and the last fertilizer. The repotting sticker marks it at a glance.
4. New leaves. Keep a small “new growth” line at the bottom and add a leaf sticker each time a plant puts out a new leaf. It is the happiest part of the page.
5. One plant per weekly page. Put a plant sticker in the corner of each weekly spread, so the green shows up on every page, not only on the tracker.
6. A plant title for the month. Start the month with a monstera month title and a watering reminder underneath.

A plant tracker works like any other habit tracker: small boxes, ticked every day. My digital habit trackers have ready-made grids if you’d rather not draw one, and my habit tracker ideas have more layouts.

Plant Sticker Ideas for a Digital Planner

• A trailing vine hanging from the top of a weekly spread.
• A cactus next to a hard task, as a small “you can do it” mark.
• A potted plant on the bottom edge of every to-do box.
• A monstera leaf tucked behind a note frame as a header.
• A watering can on the days you water, so the planner reminds you next week.
• A “new plant” sticker on the day a new plant comes home, with its name and where you bought it.
• A plant wishlist page: one sticker per plant you’d like to buy next.
• A spring page with seedlings and new leaves when the plants wake up after winter.
• A succulent per day as a mood tracker: green for a good day, a pale one for a tired day.

Plants and flowers go well together. For blooms, see my flower digital stickers; for leafy strips to frame a page, my digital washi tape.

Digital Plant Stickers vs Printed Plant Stickers

Search for “plant stickers” and much of what comes up is vinyl stickers for laptops, wall decals or printable sheets. Digital plant stickers are images you place on iPad pages. They never run out, you can resize them to fit a box, and one pack covers every week of the year. The boho botanical sheets come as full A4 pages, which you could print, but here they are for the planner on your iPad.

How to Add Plant Stickers in GoodNotes

1. Unzip the files in the Files app on your iPad.
2. GoodNotes file: if the pack has one (the succulent set, the houseplants, the plant chores and the monstera titles do), open it in GoodNotes. The stickers are laid out on the pages, ready to copy.
3. Single PNGs: in your planner, tap the image tool and pick a sticker from Photos or Files. Resize it with the corners.
4. Save your favorites: select a sticker with the lasso tool and add it to Elements. Make one collection called “Plants” and it shows up in every notebook.
5. Full sheets: for the boho botanical pages, cut each leaf or frame out once with the lasso and save it to Elements, then never cut it again.

Using Notability or Noteshelf? PNG stickers go onto the page as images there too. My GoodNotes vs Notability comparison covers how each app handles stickers, and my GoodNotes stickers list has functional packs to mix in.

A Free Plant Checklist Set

There’s also a tiny free option on Creative Fabrica that fits a plant care page well. It costs nothing and doesn’t need the All Access trial. It’s a handful of checklist cards rather than a full pack of plant stickers, so think of it as a tracker add-on.

FAQ

What are plant stickers?

They are stickers with houseplants, succulents, cacti, leaves and plant care items like watering cans and pots. Digital plant stickers come as PNGs with a transparent background or as a GoodNotes file for a planner or journal on a tablet.

Can you add stickers in GoodNotes?

Yes. Add a PNG with the image tool, or open a GoodNotes sticker file and copy stickers from it. To keep them handy, select a sticker with the lasso and add it to Elements, and it is there in every notebook.

How do I turn a PNG into a sticker in GoodNotes?

Insert the PNG on a page, select it with the lasso tool and tap “Add to Elements”. A PNG with a transparent background behaves like a sticker right away. If it is a full sheet, lasso one piece at a time and save each one.

Are there free plant stickers for GoodNotes?

Some designers share small free sets, and GoodNotes has its own sticker library. The packs in this list are on Creative Fabrica, where they’re paid individually or included with an All Access subscription.

Do plant stickers work in Notability?

Yes. PNG stickers work in any app that adds images to a page, including Notability, Noteshelf and ZoomNotes. A GoodNotes sticker file only opens in GoodNotes, so for other apps use the PNGs from the same pack.

Can I use plant stickers in a bullet journal?

Yes, in a digital bullet journal on the iPad they work the same way as in a planner: as headers, trackers and small accents. The boho botanical sheets are the closest to a bullet journal look. For layouts, see my digital bullet journal ideas.

Final Thoughts

The best plant stickers make a planner feel like a sunny windowsill and, with a simple tracker, help the real plants on it too. Start with the succulent and cactus set for everyday pages, add the plant chores pack for a watering tracker, and save both to Elements before the next watering day.
