Analyzing adds a likely match and history to this browser’s local storage. A match is a suggestion, not confirmed identification or diagnosis. Do not use photo results to decide whether a plant is safe to eat or safe for pets. Read limits and data details.

Frequently asked questions
How AI Planter works, what it costs, and what happens to your photos.
How does AI Planter identify plants?
Upload or photograph a plant and a native on-device AI model (MobileNetV2 running as WebAssembly) analyzes the leaf color, texture, shape and pattern to match it against 280+ houseplant species. Everything runs in your browser — photos never leave your device.
Is AI Planter really free and private?
Photo analysis is free with no account or per-photo payment. Photos are processed in your browser. Page and model downloads still contact servers; see About for local storage, external services and hosting information.
Can it detect plant diseases?
It flags visible patterns that may resemble common leaf problems. A photo cannot confirm a pathogen, root rot or nutrient deficiency. Inspect the whole plant, roots and pests, and verify the cause before applying a treatment.
What care information do you provide?
Care records include watering checks, light, humidity, temperature, feeding and soil guidance. Some records lack toxicity data. Ranges are starting points, not a schedule calibrated to your room. Read the matching encyclopedia guide and its limits.
Does it work on my phone?
Use a modern browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly. Camera access needs your permission and may be unavailable on some devices. The first analysis downloads model files; timing varies with your connection and hardware. You can choose a photo instead.
