Plant Identifier - Plantnatu

Plant identifier and plant care in one app

Plantnatu is a plant identifier that names what you are looking at from a single photo, then tells you how to keep it alive. Point your camera at a flower, a tree, a shrub or a single leaf, and the plant identifier returns the common name, the botanical name, reference images and a full plant care plan in seconds.

Identify plants from a photo

The plant identifier recognises more than 400,000 species: houseplants, garden flowers, trees, shrubs, herbs, succulents, cacti, ferns, grasses and weeds. Photograph anything you cannot name, import a photo from your gallery, or scan a label at the garden centre before you buy. Every plant identification carries a confidence rating, and when the plant identifier is not certain it shows the likely matches rather than inventing an answer. Plant identification results are saved so you can look them up again later.

Diagnose a sick plant

A plant identifier that stops at the name is not much use when the leaves are turning yellow. Photograph the damage and the plant identifier diagnoses it: disease, pests, overwatering, underwatering, poor light, or a nutrient deficiency. You get a severity rating, the likely cause in plain language, and a numbered plant care treatment you can start the same day. A week later the plant identifier asks you to rescan, then shows the two photos side by side so you can see whether it is recovering. The plant identifier will also tell you honestly when something is beyond saving, and what to do differently next time.

A plant care plan built around where you live

Add anything to My Garden and the plant identifier writes a plant care schedule for it: watering frequency and volume, light, humidity, temperature, soil, feeding, repotting, pruning and propagation. Plant care advice shifts with your climate, your season and your hemisphere, so a winter routine is never a summer routine. Plant care reminders tell you what needs water today, and they are free forever.

Free tools, no ads

Light meter — measure a room and see which of your plants would thrive on that windowsill.

Every free tool above works at every tier, and there is no advertising anywhere in the app.

Learn to grow, not just to identify

The encyclopedia covers plant care, propagation, common problems and reported toxicity for every species, searchable by common name in your own language. Plant Care Academy takes a complete beginner from choosing a first pot to propagating cuttings, in short lessons with a question at the end of each. The seasonal calendar tells you what to sow, prune and feed this month where you actually live.

Worth opening every day

Daily plant care tasks, a streak that does not break on days when nothing needs doing, levels, collection badges, and a growth journal that turns a year of photos into a timeline you will scroll back through.

Start with three free scans

Three free scans, then Premium unlocks unlimited plant identification, unlimited diagnosis and the full plant care plan for every species you own. Plant care reminders, the journal, the encyclopedia, the seasonal calendar and every free tool stay available at no cost, forever.

Plant identification is AI-assisted and can be inaccurate. Never rely on Plantnatu to decide whether a plant is safe to eat, touch or use medicinally.
