After purchasing the digital pass, your access code is sent to the checkout email. Nothing is shipped. The 90-day period begins when Stripe confirms payment, not when you first open the app. The code looks like PLANT-XXXX-XXXX.
Open My Profile and go to the access section. Type or paste your code and select Activate or Verify. Once validated, every tool unlocks and the app displays your AI Care Credit balance. Smart Product Guide is tracked separately.
The app unlocks immediately and creates a secure session in this browser, so you do not need to enter the code on every page. Keep the code for recovery or a new device.
One payment starts a 90-day access period when Stripe confirms the purchase or renewal. Nothing is shipped, and renewal is always manual.
Use the 9 care tools, Plant ID, Photo Diagnosis, Today, saved plants and plans, journals, reminders, AI Help, Smart Product Guide, and all 11 languages.
Each successful new Generator result, Plant ID, Photo Diagnosis, or separate Recovery Plan uses 1 AI Care Credit. A requested second photo within the same diagnosis is included in that diagnosis credit. Failed technical requests do not use a credit, and unused credits expire with the pass.
Opening, searching, saving, renaming, exporting, organizing, or deleting saved content does not use an AI Care Credit.
You receive app access and an access code; no physical item is mailed. There are no recurring charges or automatic renewals.
When the pass expires, new AI results, creation, editing, care logging, AI Help, and activation of new reminders are paused. Saved content remains available in read-only Archive Mode for viewing, export, deletion, and renewal for up to 180 days after expiration. Renew with the same code before the retention deadline to keep the saved content connected.
Smart Product Guide includes up to 300 guides per active pass. It has its own allowance and never reduces your AI Care Credit balance.

Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen.
Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add. The icon appears on your home screen.
Open the app in Chrome.
Tap the three-dot menu ⋮ in the top right corner.

Your profile helps the AI personalize every recommendation.
Choose Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. This helps the AI explain things at the right level of detail for you.
Select your home type (dry, humid, air-conditioned), plant location (indoor, balcony, office), and pet situation. This shapes how the AI frames care advice.
Click Save Profile. The more detail you provide, the more accurate and actionable your results will be.
The more detail you provide, the more accurate your results.
Type the common name — for example: Monstera, Peace Lily, Snake Plant, Pothos, Orchid. A scientific name is optional but improves accuracy.
Select your pot type (plastic, terracotta, ceramic), whether it has drainage holes, and the potting mix. These are key for accurate watering advice.
Select the light your plant receives (low, medium indirect, bright indirect, direct sun) and how often you currently water it.
Is the plant healthy, declining, recovering, or under pest treatment? This helps the AI prioritize urgent recommendations.
The Generator includes 9 AI tools: Basic Care Plan, Watering Plan, Fertilizing Plan, Repotting Guide, Propagation Guide, Pet Safety Check, Problem Diagnosis, Care Calendar, and Plant Finder. Photo Diagnosis and Plant ID are separate photo tools.
The AI creates your personalized plan in about 10–20 seconds. You'll see a loading indicator while it works.
The result appears in clear, organized sections based on the tool selected. Review the recommendations carefully. The complete result is saved automatically to My Plans.
Choose Problem Diagnosis from the generator. This activates a specialized symptom form.
You can upload a photo of the affected plant directly in the Generator, or go to the dedicated Diagnose page to use Photo Diagnosis. Alternatively, select symptoms from the list and add any notes about what you observe.
Provide additional context: when it started, which leaves are affected, soil condition, whether you've checked the roots, and any recent changes.
The AI returns: Likely Causes, What to Check First, Immediate Action Today, a 7-Day Recovery Plan, Mistakes to Avoid, and When to Worry.
Every completed Generator result is saved automatically to My Plans and linked to your access code. You do not need to press a separate Save Plan button.
After a Generator, Photo Diagnosis, or Plant ID result, choose Save Plant to add the profile to My Plants. Saved plants receive their own Journal, care history, notes, photos, reminders, and linked plans. Saving a plant does not use an AI Care Credit.
Open My Plans to review, organize, rename, or delete saved results. They remain connected to your access code and load when you activate that code on another device.
Photo Diagnosis is a separate page that lets you upload a photo and receive an instant clinical diagnosis — no text forms needed.
Click Diagnose in the top navigation or the bottom menu. The page is available to any user with an active access code.
Tap the upload zone or drag a photo directly onto it. JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported up to 8MB. The photo is automatically compressed before sending. For best results, photograph in natural daylight and make sure the affected area is clearly visible.
You can add a short note describing what you observe — when it started, whether the soil is dry, if you recently repotted, etc. You can also type the plant name if you know it. Both are optional but improve the result.
Photo Diagnosis analyzes the uploaded plant photo, an optional second photo, the plant name, and your note to return the likely issue, likely cause, immediate steps, a 7-day rescue guide, and actions to avoid. The diagnosis uses 1 AI Care Credit in total, including a requested second photo. From the result, you can generate a separate 14-day Recovery Plan for 1 additional credit and then choose Save Plan.
Don't know what plant you have? Plant ID identifies the species from a photo and gives you a complete care profile — plus a one-click link to generate a full care plan.
Click Plant ID in the top navigation or the mobile menu. The feature is available to all users with an active access code.
A photo showing the full plant or a clear view of its leaves and structure gives the best results. Avoid extreme close-ups that only show a single leaf segment. Good lighting is essential for accurate identification.
The result shows: common name, scientific name, botanical family, confidence level (high, medium, or low), origin and habitat, a quick care profile with 6 key parameters, the 3 most common problems for that species, and a pet safety statement. Plant ID also performs a two-phase health scan: after identifying the species, it analyzes the plant’s visible condition and flags any signs of stress or disease detected in the photo.
At the bottom of the result, click Generate Full Care Plan. The app automatically navigates to the Generator with your plant name pre-filled. Simply choose your plan type and click Generate — no typing needed.
The journal is your personal care diary for each plant. Open it to view the plant profile, log care events, and write notes.
Go to My Plants and open any plant card, then tap View Journal. The journal shows your plant's bio, botanical details, and active care reminders.
In the Care Log section, tap Log Care. Select the action — watering, fertilizing, repotting, or pruning — and add an optional note. The entry is saved with a timestamp and linked to your access code.
In the journal notes area, write any free-form observation — how the plant looks, what you changed, or anything you want to remember. Notes are private and saved to your account.
How do email reminders work? Can I export a Care Calendar to my calendar app?
Add or update the reminder email in My Profile, then open a plant’s Journal and activate Care Reminders for that plant. Email summaries are sent when a soil review, fertilization, or repotting task is due. Watering reminders ask you to inspect the soil and record dry, slightly dry, moist, or wet; they do not tell you to water automatically. You can deactivate reminders from the Journal. The reminder email is not used for marketing.
Yes. Choose Care Calendar in the Generator, create a weekly or monthly result, and use the calendar download button to obtain a .ics file. Import that file into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or another compatible app. This is a one-time export of the generated Care Calendar, not a live synchronization with email reminders.
Today shows which saved plants need attention and helps you record routine care without opening each journal.
Plants are organized into overdue tasks, tasks due today, and plants with no action currently needed.
When a soil review is due, select Check soil and record dry, slightly dry, moist, or wet. Only mark that you watered when you actually decided to water after checking the plant and substrate.
After you complete a task, the plant moves automatically to the correct group based on its next scheduled care date.
Search your saved collection and quickly locate the plant profile or AI result you need.
Open Search and enter a plant name, nickname, scientific name, or a term from a saved result.
Results can include saved plants and saved plans. Select the matching item to open its journal, profile, or complete AI result.
Use separate chat modes for plant questions and app support, with responses in your selected language.
Open AI Help from the navigation menu and choose the chat that matches your need: plant assistance or app support.
Ask in plain language. The assistant keeps the context of the current conversation and displays the remaining message allowance inside the chat.
For payment, access-code, account, or technical issues that require a person to investigate, send the details through the Contact page.
Today and Journal use a next soil-review date that learns from real care events instead of repeating a fixed watering command.
When a soil review is due, select Check soil and record dry, slightly dry, moist, or wet.
Only mark that you watered when you actually decided to water after checking the plant and substrate.
Read the explanation to see which conditions moved the next review earlier or later.
Set a 1–90 day manual interval when you prefer full control, then choose Resume adaptive schedule to return.
Rooms help larger collections reuse shared context without changing any plant’s individual care profile.
In My Plants, select Spaces. Add a name such as Living Room, Balcony, or Office, plus optional shared light and general indoor conditions.
Edit any saved plant and choose the room or space. The assignment is optional and older plants remain fully compatible.
Use the space filter to show only plants in one room. The summary displays the number of plants, shared light, and general conditions.
Use these safe recovery steps before contacting support. They solve the two most common urgent problems without sharing sensitive information.
Discover the right plant for your home.
Plant Finder is different from all other plan types — it helps you discover a new plant, not care for an existing one. No plant name is needed.
Select the room, available light, how often you want to care for a plant, whether you have pets, and your preferred style.
The AI recommends 3 plants that fit your space, with details on care difficulty, light needs, watering, and pet safety.
Click View Plans in the navigation or go to plans.php directly.
Scroll to the Renew Your Pass section. Enter your current access code to see your pass status.
Select a plan and complete payment through Stripe. Confirmation starts a fresh 90-day period and resets the AI Care Credit balance to the selected plan. Unused credits do not roll over. Use the same code so retained saved content stays connected.
Be specific with pot and soil details
Drainage holes, pot material, and soil type are the most influential factors in watering recommendations.
Don't skip the watering frequency field
Your current watering habit — even if it's wrong — helps the AI understand the situation and correct it.
For diagnosis, select all applicable symptoms
Multiple symptoms together give the AI much better signal. Don't hold back details.
Add your region
If you mention your region or country in your profile, the AI can take seasonality into account.
Always read the disclaimer section
The AI uses careful language because plants vary. Use the plan as a starting guide and observe your plant closely.
Review your automatically saved results
Generated results are saved automatically in My Plans. Rename or organize important results so they are easier to find later.
Still need help?
Use AI Help for immediate plant or app questions. Use Contact Support for account, payment, access-code, or technical issues that require human review.
