Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Snap a photo to identify any plant, diagnose problems, and get watering reminders for everything you grow. Try Premium free for 7 days.
Point your camera at any plant to identify it in seconds, diagnose problems, and set up care and watering reminders. Plant IDs are free every day, and Premium starts with a free trial.
Pocket Botanist helps you identify plants, understand plant problems, and keep your garden on track.
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.
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
Use the light meter to check 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 seasonal tasks and monthly planting ideas. 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.
YOUR PLANT COLLECTION
Save plants to your collection with photos and care history, then build care streaks and earn achievements as your garden grows.
Sign in to back up your collection and keep it in sync across your devices, so your plant history is always safe.

Pocket Botanist uses Google's Gemini AI for identification, health checks, care guidance, and chat. AI results are estimates and can be wrong. Please don't rely on one alone when a plant might be toxic, or when a child or pet has touched it. When it matters, check with a local expert.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Try Pocket Botanist before you sign up. You can now save up to three plants without an account, and they come with you when you do sign in.
Tell us what you think from inside the app. There's a new feedback option in Help, so you can send a note without leaving what you were doing.
We only ask about notifications when it actually matters, right after you save a plant or log some care, and we explain why first. If a reminder has been muted, your home screen now says so and offers to turn it back on.
Anything written by AI is now labeled as AI, including chat replies, shared cards, and exported files.
Plan prices are clearer too. The amount you'll actually be charged is now the number you see first.
