## What is PlantIn?

PlantIn is always there for you!
With our care plans, you will learn how to identify a plant, how often to water your trees, or why the leaf on your flower turned brown.

We have a wide variety of features that every green thumb would fall in love with: 

► Watering Calculator

This feature will help to figure out the right amount of water your green pet needs. You just need to answer several questions regarding your plant’s conditions, and voila! 

► Light Meter

Here is another helpful tool that calculates the correct lighting level for your greens! Just click the Light Meter button and point the camera at the plant. Our AR-based technology will automatically scan the nearest environment, measure the amount of light, and tell if you need to move the plant to a brighter or shadier spot. 

► Care Plans

Plantkeeping will become even more effortless with our Personalized Care Plans. Request a plan for almost any species, from common houseplants to exotic cultivars. Your Snake plant care needs some improvements, or maybe you just got your first air plant and are not sure what to do with it? Get thorough watering, fertilization, lighting, and even pruning instructions easily and make ‘em grow!

► Care Notifications

Our users say that our plant care app helps with organizing daily routines! Keep calm – we will send your reminders to make sure that all your green pets are following their watering and fertilization schedules. Moreover, there are special weather notifications so that you will be warned in case of storms, freezing temperatures, and other unfavorable conditions that may harm your outdoor oasis.
 
► Ask the Botanist

Use this feature to get a consultation with our experienced gardening experts. Ask any questions regarding houseplant care and get custom recommendations, step-by-step guides, useful hints, and detailed instructions for your particular case.

Last but not least, we are happy to present our latest update: 

► Mushroom Identification

Our fresh mushroom identifier will become a fav feature for every single shroom hunter! While designed to identify fungi online in several taps, we have implemented a technology for offline id: no more hesitation while outdoors in lush woods. Identify edible mushrooms for delicious dinners, learn new fungi species, and use our feature to detect poisonous specimens.

PlantIn was created to provide loving care for each of your green pets, so let’s make this world greener and educate ourselves on botany together! Stay plantuned for more lifesaving info from our plant care app.

### 1/5 — Steals Money from bank account

*2026-08-24, version 5.60.2*

I paid the $49.99 yearly Sub. and they keep pulling the money out of my account. I want you to stop the payment process now or it goes to the Better Business Bureau asap.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-24, version 5.60.2*

It’s an awesome help if you have great intentions but not very good with plants 🥴😂

### 5/5 — Best app ever.

*2026-08-23, version 5.60.2*

I have just under 100 plants and some I could never keep alive before the PlantIn app. I cannot speak enough about this app. They add plants as you request them if needed and they have such a huge library of plants.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2026-08-23, version 5.60.2*

It would help if the app also supplied growth height and width. Sadly missing.

### 4/5 — Nice

*2026-08-22, version 5.60.2*

Overall it is not bad. Still it could be better. I added a plant and it is as great helping getting in the program. Hopefully I will be able to use this to keep from killing this one unlike the last one I put in the program. I have lost two plants in last year because of a advice from this, but I understand.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-21, version 5.60.2*

It always tells me and identifies the plants. It tells me what’s wrong with them and how to treat them. Great.

### 5/5 — This app is the truth

*2026-08-21, version 5.60.1*

I have all my plants flowers on the right schedule to growth I’m excited to see ever flower in the house out come

### 2/5 — Not as promised?

*2026-08-21, version 5.60.1*

This app does a good job of identifying and distinguishing between similar plants. For a paid subscription, however, rarely have I received any suggestion beyond water from the bottom.

### 5/5 — Red Roses

*2026-08-21, version 5.60.1*

A bush of Red roses

### 5/5 — Brown tip of leaves

*2026-08-18, version 5.60.1*

Healthy plant
