Free to identify. Keeps going after the name — care plan, health check, reminders.
GreenLens is a free plant identification app for iOS and Android. Point your camera at a plant, review the suggested match, and receive a care plan without being redirected to search results.
A useful plant identification app does more than return a name. GreenLens combines a catalog of more than 450 plant profiles with care plans, watering reminders, and an optional health check after a scan.
How GreenLens turns a simple phone photo into a complete botanical analysis.
High-resolution capture analyzes leaf morphology, veins, and stem structure. Blurry images are discarded to ensure accuracy.
The model evaluates visible features and compares them with entries in a botanical database.
A second pass looks specifically for discoloration, pest traces, and wilting — based on diseases typical for the species.
Identification and health status combine into an individual care plan adapted to local light and placement.
Compare what happens after the suggested match: practical care guidance and next steps instead of only a name.
Regular care beats infrequent intensive care. Use reminders to build a good routine.

GreenLens offers free plant identification for 450+ species and goes further than most free apps: after identifying the plant, it generates a care plan, sets watering reminders, and provides a health check — all without a paywall for basic use. For rare or unusual species, iNaturalist has a larger community database.
GreenLens is designed for common houseplants, garden plants, and succulents. Match quality depends on the species and image quality. A clear, well-lit photo of characteristic features such as leaves, blooms, or growth form produces the most useful suggestion.

A great plant ID app connects identification to action: a care plan, watering schedule, and health diagnostic. GreenLens does all three after every free scan — so the identification is the beginning of the workflow, not the end.
