Plant Parent: Plant Care Guide 4+

Absolutely Wonderful Resource

I am delighted with this app. It has finally helped me to identify plants that I have had for more than a decade but never knew what they were called and thus never knew what they needed for optimal care. Furthermore, I very much appreciate the categorizing of care and ability of the app to keep my personal indoor and outdoor garden organized and updated re: watering and fertilizing. The health scan is a brilliant concept and appears to be correct ~ 85% of the time. I believe that much of the 15% off component is also largely contributed to the user’s photo ability, revealing the full plant and nothing but the plant, no background plant’s included in scan photo, close enough, clear enough, etc…, etc…The health care suggestions are spot on. And all the information is quite helpful. Even if you already know it, the material keeps you more vigilant and gives the user confidence. Ultimately, other than being such a hardworking tool with lots of capability, the app is totally fun to use. Most highly recommend!!

Needs more features and better AI

Wish there were more features like exporting a list of all your plants and their care info (light/soil/water, etc). Their plant identifier is ok but vague. It will identify the species but not the exact variety. For instance it can’t distinguish between a neon pothos and an N’Joy so you just get Golden Pothos for literally any type of pothos you scan, and it’s like this for many of the plants. I wish there was a better gallery instead of the typical 1 photo for the plant, especially when you’re scanning a cutting and want to know what it will look like matured. I wish it would allow input for adding plants like cutting: Y/N, propagation water or soil, date added to library, track growth progress by asking for a photo of your plant the same way it reminds you to water and fertilize. And I’d also like if there was better assistance with soil recommendations and propagation instructions specific to the plant. A lot of the care info is about as generic as the little tag that comes with the plant. I dont know if other plant apps are better but I plan to research features of the competing plant apps and make a decision from there. Unless of course, developers take my review into consideration and try implementing some of the suggestions I’ve made. Now that- would give this app an absolute value if they end up having highly responsive skilled developers that are assertive and willing to make improvements!

Love it!

I love, love, love this app. I have always admired the beauty of flowers. My husband started buying me expensive plants and I just kept killing them. Each time they died he’d just buy more. I seriously do not have a green thumb. I even killed the steel plants and cactus. So I just got frustrated and told him not to buy anymore. Then he started planting flowers outside and he didn’t kill them. At least not all of them. I was talking to a relative and she told me about your app and I started using it to help him outside. Now he has started buying me beautiful indoor plants and I haven’t had to throw any away yet. I have saved two so far. Your app is a wealth of information and I am so grateful for it and everyone that contributes to it. Thanks to plant parent I have found my first hobby and I look forward to the journey.
Much appreciated
