Photograph a houseplant, review the suggested match, and get an indoor care guide.
GreenLens is a houseplant identifier for iOS and Android. Scan an indoor plant to quickly get the species name and an indoor-specific care plan, including watering frequency, light requirements, and a fertilizing schedule.
A houseplant identifier uses a photo to determine the species and care requirements of an indoor plant. GreenLens is built specifically for plant owners: every identification automatically generates a care plan tailored to indoor conditions, and a health check helps diagnose problems like yellow leaves, root rot signs, or pest damage.
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.
Plant Identifier App →Quickly identifies common houseplants such as Monstera, Pothos, Ficus, orchids, succulents, and snake plants.
Returns a species name without further context or next steps.
Care plan accounts for indoor conditions: room light, temperature ranges, and typical watering intervals for houseplants.
Generic care information without adjustment for indoor environments.
Dedicated health scan for houseplant symptoms: yellow leaves, drooping, soft stems, or spots — with a concrete next step.
No diagnostic function for sick houseplants.
Per-plant watering reminders based on the identified species — not a one-size-fits-all timer.
No reminder system. Watering tracking is manual.
Save all your houseplants to a personal collection with care notes, photos, and individual reminder schedules.
Scan history only, with no collection or ongoing care tracking.
GreenLens identifies 450+ plant species including the most popular houseplants: Monstera deliciosa, Pothos, Ficus varieties, Orchids, Snake plants (Sansevieria), Peace lilies, ZZ plants, Rubber plants, Succulents, Cacti, and many more. For rare or unusual indoor plants, the community at iNaturalist may offer additional expertise.
Yes. After identifying the plant, GreenLens generates a care plan including a watering frequency recommendation based on the species. You can set a watering reminder that will alert you when it is time — no more guessing or generic every-7-days timers.
Yellow leaves in houseplants are most commonly caused by overwatering, insufficient light, root damage, or nutrient deficiency. GreenLens health checks analyze visible symptoms and ask about recent care changes to narrow down the most likely cause before recommending the next step.
GreenLens includes free plant identification. Advanced AI health checks and unlimited scans are available through paid credits or a subscription. Basic care information and collection management are included in the free version.
Yes. GreenLens works with photos from your gallery — a live shot is not required. The identification result is just as accurate as a live scan, provided the photo shows the houseplant clearly with sufficient lighting.
