PlantIn: Plant Identifier・Care 4+

I have a bunch of plants and love creating succulent gardens from clippings and reviving dried up/ half dead plants from the side of the road or a friend who can’t handle the care of them. I’ve been able to take pretty good care of most and have a lovely garden of likely 40+ potted plants… Sometimes my adoptees have issues tho- recently had an aphid or spider mite problem, that started spreading to my other plants! I decided to finally give this app a try to see what the problem may be with a couple as well regarding their watering needs. Now I realize each plant is different in its care and I’m having fun learning what they need so I can make sure to water and feed appropriately.
The weekly charge is super high at $7 so $28 per month is more than I spend on my pots, fertilizer and tools! It kinda makes the lifetime option the only one that makes sense. Idk, hopefully as time goes on they will make a longer trial period or a cheaper monthly subscription option. But either way, the app is easy/fun to use and super informative! You can essentially create a whole catalog of your plants and where they are located and get reminded about what they need. It’s pretty brilliant.

So basically doing a search on Google you’ll find all the info found in this app. You can even find actual farmers ,horticulturalist and Botanist willing to offer advice for FREE. Right off the bat first the I found wrong with the app was the very reason I got the app. It had a feature to identify needed care. So I used this feature and it gave me conflicting advice that was wrong in both cases. 1st it said I over watered, I had not watered in 5 days. Next it said it didn’t get enough sun light. The only way for it to get more sunlight is if the days themselves where longer. I’m saying it gets direct sunlight from sun up to sun down. With that said I can’t honestly say the main feature is worth posting for. Unless your goal is to track statistics on your phone. But you can keep stats if your different plants as well as pictures on note pad. I’m not really sure who this app is for. It really just seems like a big money grab.

Update: The Developer emailed me and was most respectful and professional in addressing my issues. While my personal review won’t change.. I will add that while it didn’t meet my expectations ( only due to the steep price) You may not experience the same problems and the support team is quite ready and willing to address issues and is consistently updating the app. Enjoy.

I’m fairly new to plants, and the intricacies of owning caring and growing them. In my plant journey, I have adapted the theory of use all tools necessary to grow your skill or hobby. In this process, I have tried multiple, I would go as far as saying, countless apps, to aid me in becoming a better plan parent. after trying multiple premium apps I can confidently say this one is the best. Upon opening the app the aesthetics are very attractive, upon opening the app for the first time I was very pleased at how easy it is to use. One of my plan babies. I’ve had a difficult time keeping alive, not knowing if it’s being properly watered, getting enough sunlight, or near and in air-conditioning. This app help me immediately identify that my current watering schedule, for my Monstera was not conducive to keeping it healthy, while also informing me of common diseases that affect this particular. The light meter, which was the focal point of me download this app has been a plant saver. I believe this app has already helped me save several plans and will continue to help me be a great plant father. I recommend this app to the Novice and expert plant grower alike, look no further download this app.
