Point your camera at a plant
PlantRx is a plant identifier that tells you what it is, how healthy it is and exactly how to care for it — plants, weeds, insects, birds and mushrooms, from a single photo.
- 🌿Identifies from a photo — plants, weeds, insects, birds and mushrooms, plus tools that count stems and tree rings.
- 🩺Reads the plant's health — a score, what's wrong, and a fix for each problem in plain language.
- 💧Keeps a garden — watering and feeding schedules, reminders that arrive on time, and a journal per plant.
- 📷Uses the camera properly — auto-capture that waits until the framing is right, and a light that turns itself on in a dim room.
Plant care guides
The care data behind the app, readable on the web: how much light and water 30 common houseplants want, what soil suits them, and which are safe around cats and dogs.

How does PlantRx identify a plant?
From a photo, using Pl@ntNet's recognition engine with iNaturalist reference data. You can add up to four angles of the same plant when one shot is ambiguous, and the result shows how confident the match is rather than hiding it.
Can it tell me what is wrong with my plant?
Every scan includes a health check: a score out of 100, what looks wrong, the likely cause — from overwatering to pests — and a fix you can act on. The reading is assessed by AI, so treat it as a well-informed second opinion rather than a diagnosis.
Does it identify anything other than plants?
Yes — insects, birds, mushrooms and weeds each have their own mode, plus tools that count stems on a multi-trunk tree and growth rings on a cut stump. Never eat a wild mushroom on the strength of an app identification.
What does PlantRx cost?
Two days of full access with no card and no charge. After that, PlantRx Premium is $9.99 a year. There are no ads at any point.
