BotanicBuddy
Plant Care & Identification
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
BotanicBuddy is the plant-care app for people who want their plants to thrive — not just survive.
IDENTIFY ANY PLANT IN SECONDS
Snap a photo of a plant — your own, a friend's, one you've spotted at the garden centre — and BotanicBuddy uses computer vision to tell you what species it is, its preferred conditions, and any quirks of care.
A CARE SCHEDULE BUILT AROUND YOUR LIFE
Get watering, fertilising, and repotting reminders that adjust to the species, your local conditions, and how you actually use the app. No more guessing if it's been a week or two — BotanicBuddy keeps the history so you don't have to.
DIAGNOSE WHAT'S WRONG, FAST
Yellow leaves? Brown tips? Bugs? Take a picture of the symptom and our diagnosis engine suggests the most likely causes — over-watering, under-watering, light stress, pests, fungal — plus the next steps to recover the plant.
EXPERT GUIDES, WRITTEN FOR REAL PEOPLE
A growing library of articles by our editorial team and guest experts. Monstera care, sustainable propagation, eco-friendly pest control, pet-safe houseplants — everything in plain English, no jargon.
A REAL COMMUNITY OF PLANT PARENTS
Share what's working, ask what's going wrong, swap propagation tips with other people who actually own plants. Posts are gently moderated to keep things friendly and on-topic.
