What you get
- The most likely name and family
- Look-alikes with differences
- Care basics
- Safety warnings where relevant
How it works
- Photograph the plant: whole plant, then a leaf and a flower if it has one.
- Add where you found it (optional).
- Identify (1 credit).
- Save it to 'Your plants' or download a one-page report.
Example request
“A photo of a potted plant with striped, sword-shaped leaves, given as a gift.”
What comes back
- Likely name and confidence
- Two look-alikes
- Light and watering needs
- Toxicity note for pets
Tips for a better result
- More angles mean better matches.
- Include a flower, fruit or seed if present.
- If the confidence is low, add a clearer photo and try again.
- Photograph any flowers, berries or seeds; they separate look-alikes best.
- If you only have one photo, crop it so the plant fills most of the frame.
Questions
Do I need an account?
No. Guests get 2 free identifications a day.
Can it identify from one photo?
Yes, but two or three photos from different angles give more reliable matches.
Does it work on phone?
Yes, take photos directly with your phone camera.
Can I keep a record?
Each identification is saved in 'Your plants' on your device, and you can download a PDF report.
Why does it show several possible plants?
Many plants look alike in photos. FloraLens shows the best match, close alternatives and the features that separate them, so you can check yourself.
