I'm grateful to the brilliant minds behind this remarkable app. As a plant lover, I often feel overwhelmed and unsure about plant care. After struggling for years, this app has made me a successful plant owner. It provides comprehensive information on watering, sunlight, and more. The ability to identify plants and diagnose issues with a photo is awe-inspiring. The app's concise content covers all the knowledge needed, eliminating the need for endless Googling. I highly recommend this game-changing app for plant enthusiasts.
Emily
This app is fantastic at identifying plants, even in low-light conditions, and provides detailed information. After using it regularly for months, I've found it to be correct 99% of the time. I love that I can upload photos without LTE and save them in my main list or delete them later. For nature enthusiasts like me who often encounter new plants, I highly recommend upgrading to the premium version. It offers a wealth of additional information and even some poetry.

I've been using this app for 2-3 years and it has become an essential part of my daily life. With just a photo, it instantly identifies any unfamiliar plants in my yard or at stores. It has helped me choose the right plants and assess their health. The app also identifies insects and birds, which has been particularly fascinating as I've delved into gardening. I've learned so much from it and highly recommend it to both beginners and experienced gardeners. It's worth every penny of the annual fee—I'm a huge fan!
Sophia

This app is amazing! It's an easy and helpful tool for identifying trees, their care, and invasive insects that can cause damage. It saved a mature oak tree from destruction near my home, which could have easily fallen onto my house. As an avid plant lover, I rely on this app to identify tree species and learn how to care for them. I love it!
Emma
I'm using the app during the free trial and was pleasantly surprised by its accuracy! It identifies plants, provides detailed care information, and shares interesting facts. Saving plants in my personal garden storage is great. This app has been a delightful learning experience. I'll become a premium subscriber and recommend it to my household. A family plan option would be fantastic. Highly educational and worth trying – you won't be disappointed!

The plants that are brightening people’s days in season
Bottlebrush Bottlebrush (Callistemon rigidus) is a shrub native to Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. It does well in many types of soil as long as it is damp and the shrub has access to full sunlight. The nectar from Bottlebrush's bright flowers attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. Pygmy date palm Pygmy date palm (Phoenix roebelenii) is a palm species native to China, Laos, and Vietnam. Pygmy date palm is commonly cultivated as an indoor houseplant. This plant requires direct sunlight for optimal growth. In nature, it grows alongside rivers. Norway spruce The fastest-growing of all spruces, the Norway spruce (Picea abies) makes for a good roosting spot for owls and hawks. Its wood is used for paper, construction lumber, and musical instruments, and its needles can be used to brew spruce beer. It is also a popular choice for Christmas trees. Mango tree Mango tree is a large tree native to the Indian subcontinent. It is most well-known for the tropical fruit it produces, and mango is the national fruit of India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. Mango tree can also be used for wood after the tree’s fruit production is over. This type of wood is highly prized for making musical instruments. Confederate rose A unique feature of the Confederate rose (Hibiscus mutabilis) is its color-changing flowers. This shrubby rose bush blooms starting as white in the morning, turn pink at midday, and end red by the end of the day. This is a common plant species and although it is native to Southeast China, it can now be found on every continent except Antarctica. Lady banks's rose Lady banks's rose is a species of rose with pale yellow flowers which is popularly planted in gardens worldwide. The largest specimen of Lady banks's rose (Rosa banksiae) in the world is in Tombstone, AZ. This is where the famous “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” took place. A clipping that eventually became the bush was sent over from Scotland in 1885, making this rose over 130 years old. China rose The China rose (Rosa chinensis) is a Southwest China native. The plant has been cultivated for so long that it has become hard to tell the difference between wild and cultivated varieties. With medium-sized clusters of flowers and a long blooming season, it is easy to see why the China rose was chosen as the basis for many rose hybrids. Queen of the night Queen of the night is a unique flowering plant. Its flowers are funnel-shaped and have clean white petals and an aromatic scent. Each flower blooms on a single quiet night and fades within hours, making the plant a veritable moonlight beauty. Golden dewdrops Golden dewdrops (Duranta erecta) is an ornamental sprawling shrub commonly found in subtropical and tropical gardens all over the world. Its gentle purple blossoms are often visited by butterflies and hummingbirds. Golden dewdrops is considered a weed in Australia, South Africa and certain parts of East Asia.
