Pocket Botanist: Plant ID Care

Pocket Botanist helps you identify plants, understand plant problems, and keep your garden on track.

Snap a photo to get a plant ID, a likely diagnosis, care guidance, toxicity notes, watering reminders, and a growing journal for every plant you save.

PLANT ID FROM PHOTOS

Identify flowers, houseplants, trees, succulents, herbs, vegetables, weeds, and garden plants from a photo.

See common and scientific names, confidence notes, identifying features, similar species, and useful care details. You can also look up a plant by name when you already know what it is.

PLANT PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS

Check yellow leaves, brown tips, spots, wilting, pests, disease, and other symptoms.

Get likely causes, practical next steps, and follow-up care guidance so you know what to try next. With Premium you can open a guided diagnosis chat that asks a few questions and helps you work through a problem step by step.

CARE REMINDERS FOR EVERY PLANT

Create watering, fertilizing, pruning, and repotting reminders for the plants in your collection.

Use the care calendar to see what is due today, what is overdue, and what is coming up next, with gentle notifications so nothing slips through.

SAFETY FOR PETS AND FAMILY

Check whether a plant is toxic to cats, dogs, or people, with clear severity notes.

Spot poisonous lookalikes before you bring a plant home, so your pets and family stay safe.

SMART GARDEN TOOLS

Get weather-aware watering tips for outdoor plants based on local temperature, humidity, and rainfall.

Use the light meter to understand whether a spot is bright, moderate, or low light.

Follow moon phase gardening tips for planting and harvesting, and see which plants support pollinators and local wildlife.

Explore companion planting notes, seasonal tasks, monthly planting ideas, and region-specific guidance. Your hardiness zone is detected automatically so the advice fits where you live.

ORGANIZE BY ROOM OR ZONE

Group your plants into rooms and garden zones, and mark each as indoor, outdoor, or greenhouse so the care advice fits where they live.

YOUR PLANT JOURNAL

Save plants to your collection with photos, notes, locations, and care history.

Track seeds and cuttings from first roots to an established plant, with progress photos along the way.

Sign in to back up your collection and keep it in sync across your devices, so your plant history is always safe.

Track your garden over time with collection insights, care streaks, achievements, and simple progress views.
