You're not starting from scratch, you're starting from the species
Knowing you have a pothos (Epipremnum aureum) rather than a philodendron changes the watering, the light and the risk to your cat. Identification isn't the end of the road: it's the first line on your plant's page.
A photo, a species, then a name of your own
Three steps take a plant from unknown to looked after.
02
One result, a few alternatives
The best match appears with its score. If it isn't your plant, the alternatives are one swipe away.
03
A name, a room, a plan
Add the plant to your garden: it gets a name, a room and its first care plan.
A card that tells you what it knows
The result fits on one card: common name, scientific name, description, care tips and toxicity. The confidence level is spelled out, from "High confidence" to "Very low confidence."
- A match percentageEvery result shows how closely it matches the suggested species.
- Toxicity up frontA warning appears when the plant may be toxic to pets or people.

Not this plant? Here are the other candidates
Two related species can look alike in a single photo. Floralens shows the alternatives one by one, and you confirm the one that matches your plant.
- Numbered resultsSwipe through the suggestions, each with its own description.
- You confirm"This is my plant" locks in the result before it goes into your garden.
- A sharper photo when neededWhen confidence is low, the app explains how to retake the photo: closer, better lit, with one sharp leaf in frame.
Plant Identified
Monstera deliciosa comes from the rainforests of southern Mexico and Central America. Its large leaves split and form holes as it matures, more so the more light it gets.

Where the suggestions come from
Your photo is compared against a database of more than 400,000 species. The result arrives in under 5 seconds when you have a connection. Without one, the photo waits in the app and the analysis picks up as soon as you're back online.
More than 400,000 species
Houseplants, garden flowers, shrubs and the plants you pass on a walk.
Offline, the photo waits
A photo taken with no signal is saved and analyzed automatically later.
Private by default
Your identifications form a grid only you can see, unless you choose to show them.
We're upfront about the limits
A photo is still just a photo. Here's what identification doesn't do.
The species, not the variety
Floralens identifies the species. Cultivars of the same species look too similar in a photo to tell apart with certainty.
Confidence you can read
The score is never hidden. When it's too low, the app says so and suggests retaking the photo instead of showing a random name.
You have the final say
Nothing goes into your garden without your confirmation. If none of the suggestions match, you stay in control.
Questions about plant identification
Is plant identification free?
Yes. The free version includes 4 identifications. Floralens Pro makes them unlimited.
What kind of photo gets the best result?
A single, well-lit plant that fills most of the frame. One sharp leaf and, if possible, a flower or bud in the same shot help a lot. Avoid busy backgrounds.
How long does an identification take?
Under 5 seconds: the time it takes the app to read the photo, spot distinctive features and compare the plant with known species.
What does the confidence score mean?
It shows how closely the photo matches the suggested species. High confidence means you can move on. Low confidence means it's worth retaking the photo or checking the alternatives.
Does Floralens recognize outdoor plants?
Yes. Houseplants, garden flowers, shrubs or wild plants: the database covers more than 400,000 species.
Can I identify a plant from a photo I already took?
Yes, from your photo library. A recent photo taken with your phone works better than a screenshot or an edited image.
Who can see my identifications?
Only you, by default. If you choose to show them on your community profile, visitors only see the species and the date.
What if the app gets it wrong?
Check the alternatives, retake a sharper photo or compare with the species profile. Until you confirm, nothing is added to your garden.
Your first identification is waiting in the app
A plant in the living room, a flower on the sidewalk: one photo is all it takes to start.
