Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about plant identification, plant health, and the Plantico app.

How do I identify a plant from a picture?
Open Plantico, point your camera at the plant (or upload a photo), and the app names the species in seconds — flowers, houseplants, trees, succulents, and weeds. You also get a care profile with light, water, and temperature needs. Learn more →
Why are my plant's leaves turning yellow?
Yellow leaves usually mean overwatering, poor drainage, low light, or a nutrient deficiency. Photograph the leaf in Plantico's disease diagnosis and the app identifies the likely cause and gives a step-by-step treatment plan. Learn more →
Can an app diagnose plant diseases?
Yes. Plantico analyzes a photo of the affected leaves or stems and detects common problems — fungal infections, pests, abiotic disorders, and deficiencies — then recommends treatment and prevention steps. Learn more →
How often should I water my houseplants?
It depends on the species, pot, light, and season — most houseplants want water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Plantico builds a personalized watering schedule per plant and reminds you when each one is due. Learn more →
Which houseplants are toxic to cats?
Lilies, pothos, philodendron, sago palm, and many other common houseplants are toxic to cats. Scan any plant with Plantico and it flags toxicity for pets instantly, before you bring the plant home. Learn more →
Can Plantico identify mushrooms?
Yes. Plantico recognizes mushroom species from a photo and warns you about poisonous ones like Amanita muscaria. Never eat a wild mushroom based on an app identification alone — use it as a first check, not a final answer. Learn more →
Is Plantico free?
Plantico is free to download and use for plant identification. Premium unlocks unlimited identifications, disease diagnosis, and personalized care plans, with weekly and annual options. Download free →
How accurate is plant identification by photo?
Modern AI plant identifiers are highly accurate for common species when the photo is sharp, close, and well-lit. For best results photograph leaves and flowers straight-on, and check the care profile to confirm the match. Learn more →
