What this analysis gives you
The Plant Identifier examines leaf shape and arrangement, flowers, stems, growth habit, and any fruit or seeds in your photo. It names the likely species with its scientific name, family, and confidence level, then covers native habitat, growing requirements, care, toxicity to people and pets, and uses.

What a photo cannot prove
- Seedlings, plants without flowers, and close relatives can be hard to tell apart from one photo.
- Toxicity notes are general guidance. Never eat a wild plant or treat a poisoning based on this report.
- Care advice is general and does not account for your local climate, soil, or pests.
- Invasive status differs by region, so confirm it with a local authority.
When to use it
Houseplant care
Name an unlabeled houseplant and get its light, water, soil, temperature, and humidity needs in one report.
Pet-safe homes and gardens
Check the toxicity section for cats and dogs before you bring a plant home or leave it within reach.
Garden planning
Identify a plant in your garden and use its mature size, growth habit, and native habitat to decide where it belongs.
Troubleshooting a struggling plant
Use the care and maintenance section's common problems, pruning, and fertilization notes as a starting checklist.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the plant identification?
The report lists the distinguishing features it used, such as leaf and flower structure, and gives a confidence level. When it cannot identify the plant definitively, it gives its best assessment with reasoning.
What kind of photo works best?
A close, in-focus photo of the leaves, plus flowers or fruit if the plant has them. Optional context, such as whether it grows indoors or outdoors and your region, helps narrow the options.
Will it tell me if a plant is toxic to my cat or dog?
The Toxicity and Safety section covers toxicity to humans and to pets such as cats and dogs. Confirm it with a trusted toxicity list or your veterinarian, and contact a vet or poison control service right away if a pet or person may have eaten the plant.
How much does a plant analysis cost?
Each analysis costs 5 credits with GPT-4o or 3 credits with GPT-4o mini. If an analysis fails, the credits are returned automatically.
Can I use it to decide whether a wild plant is edible?
No. Look-alike species can be toxic, and a photo identification is not reliable enough for foraging decisions. Confirm with a local expert before eating any wild plant.
