## What is Botanist?

Botanist is your pocket plant expert. Point your camera at any plant and get an instant identification from over 12,000 species, then let Botanist handle the hard part: knowing exactly what each plant needs and when.

WHY PLANT PARENTS LOVE BOTANIST

Instant plant identification
Snap a photo and Botanist recognizes your plant in seconds, complete with its name and care profile. No more mystery plants on the windowsill.

Weather-smart watering
Most apps remind you to water on a fixed calendar. Botanist is different. It reads your local forecast and shifts each plant's watering days automatically, sooner during a hot dry stretch, later after rain, so the soil stays in its sweet spot.

Care schedules that actually fit your plant
Watering, feeding, and light guidance tailored to each plant you own. Set a moisture preference and Botanist adjusts its nudges to match.

Photo diagnosis
Something looks off? Take a picture and Botanist helps you spot common problems and what to do about them, before a small issue becomes a lost plant.

Gentle, flexible reminders
Get notified when a plant genuinely needs attention. Heading out of town or already watered? Snooze a reminder and Botanist keeps the rest of your schedule on track.

Built for real life
A clean, calm home screen shows what needs doing today. One tap logs a watering. That's it.

WHO IT'S FOR

Whether you have one struggling succulent or a jungle of houseplants, Botanist gives you the confidence of a seasoned gardener without the guesswork. No green thumb required.
