How GardenGenius works
Three steps between "what plant is this?" and a plant that actually survives.
Snap a photo
Point your camera at any plant — houseplant, succulent, tree, herb, vegetable, or flower. No botanical knowledge required.
AI identifies + diagnoses
GardenGenius returns the common name, Latin name, and care requirements — or, for a sick plant, the exact disease or pest and a treatment plan.
Get a weather-aware watering plan
Your schedule adjusts automatically to your plant’s species, your local weather, light, and season, so you only get reminded when water is actually needed.
