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.

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.

After 3 months of daily use, I’ve deleted this. My experience has not been positive *at all*, much as I wanted to like the app. My collection of plants is about 65ish (and growing!). I’m a moderately experienced plant parent, and was using the app to organize, keep track of care (misting, feeding, etc), and I liked the idea of features like the light meter (overly complicated, download one of the free apps), identifying problem areas (same comment), creating a schedule for daily care. Major problem I first encountered was the app couldn’t correctly identify 95% of the plants in my collection (google is much more accurate than PlantIn!). Customer support asked if I knew the names of the plants (of course I do), and advised me to override their system and input things manually (not a good answer, and a verrry time consuming task). Doing it that way meant that I had to input watering, misting, feeding etc manually, too. And no matter how many times I tried to time watering and feeding together, feeding popped up on a random day. By the way, I submitted a query to customer service and 5 weeks later (after a few automated emails from PlantIn thanking me for my patience) they’ll get a response to me soon. After reading several reviews I made the mistake of spending $50 on the premium membership. I hope others read this review first and try the app for awhile first!
