The plant care app: Plant care made fun, intuitive & rewarding

Open OFPlants, tap Scan and take a photo of the leaves or the whole plant. Tad, our plant identifier, names it in seconds, tells you if it's toxic to cats and dogs, and gives you a care guide for light, watering, temperature and humidity.

The most common cause is overwatering: roots sitting in wet soil run short of oxygen, so the older leaves yellow and droop. Underwatering, low light, pests and nutrient problems can look similar. Snap the affected leaf and Pole, the OFPlants plant doctor, works out the likely cause and gives you a treatment plan.

Yes. Pole looks at the symptoms in your photo, like spots, yellowing, wilting or signs of pests, rules out what's normal for your plant, and tells you the most likely cause, how confident it is and what to do: now, this week, and what to keep an eye on.

It depends on the plant, the pot and the light. Most houseplants want water once the top few centimetres of soil are dry. OFPlants keeps a watering schedule for each plant and sends you watering reminders when it's due, so you don't have to guess.

Every plant gets a plant journal. Snap progress photos as it grows and OFPlants tracks your days together, growth milestones and before-and-after photos, and turns them into a story you can share.

OFPlants is free to download and comes with free credits for plant identification and diagnosis. OFPlants Pro adds a monthly credit allowance for bigger plant collections.

OFPlants is on Android through Google Play and works on the web today. The iPhone app is coming soon.
