01Identify

Name a plant from a photo.

  • Plants
  • Trees
  • Mushrooms
  • Weeds

Take a picture or pick one from your gallery. You get the common name, the Latin name, the plant family and its care needs.

You also see how sure the app is. If it isn’t sure, try another photo in better light.

Example result. Real results vary with the photo.

02Health check

Catch plant problems early.

Spots, pests, yellowing? Take a photo of the leaf or the whole plant. GreenScan looks for signs of common problems, tells you the likely cause and gives you a simple plan to help it recover.

Add the plant to your garden and the app reminds you to follow the treatment and recheck it. Treat it as a second opinion, not the final word.

03Ask Botanist

Ask with a photo.

Type a question or start a voice call. Add a photo from your gallery, a document, or a plant from your garden so it knows what you mean.

Ask Botanist is an AI assistant. It answers in plain words, and your old chats stay in your history. It can be wrong, so double-check anything that matters.

Why is this leaf going yellow?

Ask Botanist

If it’s the older, lower leaves, that’s often just age. Too much water is the next most common cause.

If new leaves are turning yellow too, look at light and feeding.

How often are you watering it, and does the pot drain?

Example chat. Answers come from an AI and can be wrong.

04Garden care

Care on a schedule.

Save your plants to My Garden, group them by room and keep a diary. GreenScan plans reminders to water, mist and feed each plant, and to follow up on any treatment.

Tasks show what needs care today, and Snap History keeps every scan. The timings are estimates, so push a finger into the soil before you water.

Good to know

A few honest notes.

GreenScan helps you look closer. You still know your plants best.

  1. It can get it wrong.

    Every result shows how sure the app is. Never eat a plant or a wild mushroom, or decide something is safe for pets, because an app said so.

  2. It won’t cure your plant.

    It points out likely problems and simple things to try. Some plants don’t recover, whatever you do.

  3. Watering times are estimates.

    Reminders and the Water Meter come from your care schedule. Light, pot size and the season change how fast soil dries, so check the soil first.

  4. Some features need the internet.

    Identify, health checks and Ask Botanist run on our servers, so you need a connection.

  5. There’s a daily limit.

    Scans and Ask Botanist chats have a daily limit. If you reach it, try again tomorrow.

  6. The Light Meter is a rough guide.

    It reads Low, Medium or Bright from your camera. It isn’t a lux meter.

How accurate is it?

Each result shows how sure the app is. Clear, close photos in good light work best. It can still be wrong, so double-check anything that matters, especially before treating a plant or deciding something is safe.

Which phones does it work on?

Android phones, from Google Play. There’s no iPhone version yet.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Sign in with Google, or with your email and a 6-digit code we send to confirm it. Your garden then syncs to your account.

Can it identify mushrooms, trees and weeds?

Yes, the scanner has modes for plants, trees, mushrooms and weeds. Never eat a wild mushroom or plant because an app named it. Ask a local expert.

Do my photos leave my phone?

Photos you use for Identify, the health check or Ask Botanist are sent to our service to get you an answer. Plant photos you keep in your garden stay on your phone.

What languages does it support?
