## What is Leaf People?

Born from a field guide to rainforest plants grown where they shouldn't exist, Leaf People is the rare plant collector's companion — built for growers who take their aroids, philodendrons, and hoyas seriously.
  
Whether you're nursing an Anthurium warocqueanum through a difficult climate, tracking a velvet aroid collection, identifying an unlabeled cutting, or buying and trading rare specimens, Leaf People brings it all together in one place.
  
IDENTIFY WHAT YOU'RE HOLDING
Point your camera at a leaf and get a real answer. The identifier is tuned for the rare end of the hobby — velvet anthuriums, fenestrated monsteras, splash-leaf hoyas — not just common houseplants. Confirm a clone, settle a label dispute, or finally name that mystery import.
  
EXPLORE RARE SPECIES
Curated profiles for the most coveted tropical foliage in cultivation — Anthuriums, Philodendrons, Hoyas, Monsteras, and Begonias. Each goes far beyond a care sheet: native range and habitat, full care guides covering light, temperature, humidity, substrate, air movement, and watering, plus growing challenges adapted to your region. Collector forms, clone lines, historical notes, and cultivation stories from the Foliology field guide. Not crowd-sourced guesses. Earned knowledge.
  
GROW WITH CONFIDENCE IN YOUR REGION
Select from 10 supported regions — SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, South Florida, Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Texas, Bangalore, Singapore, and London. Every profile adapts its advice to your local climate, humidity, and seasons. Because a Queen Anthurium in San Francisco needs a different conversation than one in Singapore.
  
TRACK YOUR COLLECTION, EFFORTLESSLY
Add plants to your collection and let Leaf People manage their care. Six schedule types — watering, fertilizing, foliar feed, root inspection, substrate inspection, and propagation check. Set once, then forget it. Customizable intervals, smart 9 AM reminders, one-tap logging, and a Needs Attention dashboard so nothing slips.
  
BUY, SELL & TRADE
A marketplace built for the collector community — not a generic plant swap. List plants with condition ratings, growth form, photos, and shipping details. Browse Buy, Trade, and Buy Nothing listings from collectors across SF, LA, New York, Miami, Singapore, London, and more. Make offers, message sellers directly, and pay securely through Stripe with Apple Pay.
  
STORIES FROM THE UNDERSTORY & FIELD GUIDE
Deep, original writing on the plants and the people who grow them — species deep-dives, the rare-plant market, sourcing, and the craft of keeping difficult aroids alive. New stories arrive regularly.
  
ADD YOUR OWN
Add plants not in the library with custom entries and your own photos, and request new additions right from the app. We don't run ad networks or sell your data.

### 5/5 — ★★★★★ — The collector’s app, finally

*2026-06-15*

I’ve been waiting for something like this. Most plant apps treat every aroid like it’s a pothos — Leaf People treats them like the rare specimens they are. The depth on each profile is real, the care reminders actually work for someone juggling a serious collection, and the marketplace connects you with people who know what a clone line is. It’s clear this was built by someone who actually grows these plants.
