Flora - Plant ID & Diagnosis Reviews

by DAViDATiOUS!™

App crashes CONSTANTLY when trying to edit the details of an existing plant. Even when trying to do something as simple as adding a “last fertilized date”. Almost impossible to edit the details of an existing plant because of this. Out of 10 tries I think I got it to update once.

Also need to add the ability to change an existing custom plant to a plant from the list once they have added it to the system.

I love Flora to help keep my plants on track with watering as well as care tips such as lighting, fertilizer, and if they are pet safe. I also love that you can snap a pic and it identifies your plant. With that being said it is very frustrating that Flora crashes every other time I use it. Almost annoying enough to uninstall. Flora used to be my primary plant care app however it is quickly becoming a back up app only.

very handy app that is exactly how I thought Google lense was going to work initially. this is the future, of things to come when we are all fully immersed in the metaverse. add on a few more steps to this and I see a tool we cannot live without when we reach that point in time... I can not wait till then because life is going to be absolutely amazing, astonishing, and oh so futuristic!!

An app I’ll actually use!! It’s so intuitive & user-friendly which other plant apps aren’t. Simple, clean design while still being sooo much more than just a reminder app. Has all the information you could possibly need on your specific plants on sunlight, watering, etc. Flora even has personality & community. Makes caring for your plants fun!

Simply amazing. So helpful because its so hard to get info for every plant ever altogether. Beautiful smooth ui as well

A couple things I’d love to see added are 1. Troubleshooting for when your plant is wilting or looking weird etc, maybe you could put it in and it could give you the most likely causes etc. 2. Recommendations for what kind of pots are good or bad for each plant :)

This has been a very useful app to make sure I’m not neglecting any of my plants. It has a fun and easy interface to receive regular reminders for plant care, and I get a little dopamine hit each time I water them.

The community feature is fun too, seeing what the other users are cultivating, and giving and receiving plant care advice (don’t overwater!).

by Nerveplantlover

this app has such an awesome amount of information on plant care, that I feel so much more confident that I won’t kill my plants 😅. One awesome feature is the light descriptions! It doesn’t just tell you basic information like “filtered sun” it actually tells you what filtered sun is and how many hours of sun exposure and what direction window to put it in and how far away. Total game changer!!!

I was able to participate in the beta version of Flora and it has honestly changed my life! I have always been a chronic over-waterer and often my plants would die because of it. But I absolutely love plants and gardening, so I keep trying. And Flora has unbelievably helped me to figure watering. There is also a diary feature that I love. I can add pictures or notes about my plants as they grow and change and it’s really helped me figure out what’s working and what’s not (placement, soil type, watering frequency, etc). My house plant collection is bigger than ever and I feel way more comfortable, confident, and structured because of Flora. It makes me feel like I actually know what I am doing 😆.

Flora is wonderful. It gives me watering reminders (especially important when my partner heads out of town), but it also gets me way more into plants! I feel way more invested now. I know it’s a small thing, but Flora having you name your plants just makes the whole plant-having experience more fun. Highly recommend!

by Percival Fritsch

honestly, I'm really liking this. I consider my self an amateur and have ended up with about 10 house plants. I'm love them all! but I am the forgetful type. i got the annual for 20$ and so far I'm really loving this. not just for reminders but able to take photos and make notes. I appreciate simple and easy aesthetic. dark mode would be dope tho just saying. I haven't noticed any bugs or glitches yet so 5 stars. thanks!

Flora has been great for helping to keep my plant babies watered and happy. No more complicated watering schedules! Flora does that heavy lifting.
I also love the diary feature. Our plants can grow and change a lot during their growing season, and I love being able to see the progress in diary form photos. From tracking growth to thought-to-be-dead plants coming back to life, it’s fun to reminisce on a plant’s journey.
Highly recommend!

Before this app, it had always been such a guessing game as to when I should water my plants. I love that Flora now keeps me on track and on schedule with my watering, also ensuring I never overwater as well! My plants are truly doing better than ever, and I now feel so much more informed as a plant parent.

I also love that I can see how others are doing with their plants as well! So fun to have a little plant community together 😊

Overall, very intuitive, great design, and just a lot of fun!

I really like Flora! It’s like my new best friend.
A bit of context: I struggled with keeping my plants alive, and honestly I need help figuring out which plant is which. So this app really comes in handy.
I think my favorite thing is the alert to water my plants and the tips “from mama” we get for the herbs for example.
I’m looking forward to all kinds of updates, like “plantface” recognition :) so I can know what species are in my garden; or a chat box for all kind of questions
Keep up the good work!!!

Florasense is amazing in that it takes into account important factors in plant care that other apps leave out. What is indirect light? Does it matter how big my pot is? Florasense asks the important questions and gives you an easy to understand answer. I love the community feature to see what others are doing with their plants. Diary features are amazing for keeping a plant journal. I use it to note any differences I may see in my plants. I can’t wait to see what updates they come up with next

As someone new to the plant caretaking world, Flora is everything I could have asked for! Not only is the interface very intuitive to use, but the details such as how much water to actually use are super helpful. The “identify plant” feature is actually super accurate in my experience, nice feature!

If I had to nitpick one thing, it would be some aspects of the UI design. The colors they use are not accessible and hard to read together. Would love to see some more color contrast in the design. Otherwise great app!

Flora is everything you could want in a plant app and more!! The team dedicated to building this app is incredible and have put so much time and effort into even the smallest details and it seriously shows. Everything is so simplified and easy to understand even for plants that are difficult to care for. Next to those friendly little reminders to water my plants, the community garden might be my favorite aspect to Flora because the only thing better than being a plant mom is having OTHER plant parents to obsess over plants with. Super awesome app, definitely get it!

by Igulttay

I love Flora already. It’s very useful, and it looks way better than the other apps I had for my plants! A minor thing that would be nice for you to add is being able to research plants on Flora to see other people’s experience + how to take care of it, and allowing us to add the date we got the plant/customizable date in our diary entries. Another thing: allowing us to share our plant + click the picture we took of it so it becomes full screen. Love Flora, and I hope in the future it can ask us more questions about our plants (ex; how far it’s from the window), so Flora is able to better adjust a recommended water schedule itself. :)

Ahhh my plant obsession started last year during the pandemic and I’ve been so happy to watch my plants thrive and a few that didn’t (RIP 😔) and I’ve been buying more and more and sometimes it’s so hard to keep track of when I watered them and Flora helps me so much! I also now know that the window sill isn’t always the best place for every plant, they all have different light requirements, definitely recommend!!

by Josiah Romaguera

I enjoy the useful tips and hints of taking care of my plants. I wasn't blessed with a green thumb 👍 I have a hard time with keeping them alive 🤣. My mom on the other hand was blessed with 2 green thumbs. She'd take my dying plants and they just thrive with her. So I love learning from Flora ☺️ I recommend this for anyone who is trying to grow 🪴 anything.

I downloaded several plant apps similar to this one but none of them worked as well for me as this app has. I love that I can add in a custom plant if it’s not in their database and I don’t need any approval. It’s super easy to see what I have and the watering reminders are super helpful. I can’t recommend Flora enough.
