Plant Identification

Upload a photo of any plant and Plantory's AI will identify it in seconds. This feature is free and works without an account.

How It Works

1

Upload a photo

Take a clear photo of a plant leaf, flower, or the whole plant. Drag it into the upload area or click to select a file.

2

Wait for AI analysis

The AI analyzes the image and identifies the species. This usually takes 5–10 seconds.

3

Review results

See the best match with a confidence score, plus other possible species. You can also ask follow-up questions about the identified plant.

Photo tips

For the best results, photograph the plant in good lighting. Close-up shots of leaves, flowers, or fruits help the AI make more accurate identifications.

Identification Results

Each identification shows:

  • Best match with confidence percentage
  • Scientific name and common name in your language
  • Other possibilities if the AI found multiple candidates
  • Link to the plant in the Plant Encyclopedia for more details

Ask Questions

You can optionally add a question when uploading, such as:

  • "Is this plant toxic to cats?"
  • "When does this plant bloom?"
  • "How much water does it need?"

The AI will answer your question alongside the identification results.
