Plant Parent Reviews

I assumed that I could photograph each of my plants that was not doing well, probably from lack of adequate light. The name of your program strongly suggests that you make direct suggestions for helping each plant thrive
That worked for my first plant. For my second berpalr bromeliad which should be bright red, your program gives me a name and photo of a healthy bromeliad of its species but NO suggestions so I will try more light .
I am canceling your misleading and poorly programmed offering. Try again!

When it wasn’t what it was advertised, I can’t remove it.

Beware!!!

I don’t usually write app review but this is too bad and outrageous.

While there are so many apps out there that can provide things like auto diagnosis, plant identifier etc, what PlantParent interests me is its “Ask our experts and get quick personalized solutions” feature.

When I clicked on this “ask our experts” feature, it prompted a “paid for it” page where it says “pay $29 and get help from experts - it’s $0.07 per day”.

I loved this and I paid for it.

I asked the expert and the person gave me back 2 emails, which is good.

However, what I didn’t know, and PlantParent doesn’t want to tell you, is that you only get 2 inquiries PER YEAR. So instead of $0.07 per day, it’s $15 PER EMAIL RESPONSE!! So even if the response was totally useless and you wanna ask a follow up question, NO YOU CANNOT!

What’s even worse and also a really bad strategy, is that it doesn’t give you the option to buy more inquiries. I mean, it’s bad enough to trick you users into paying for something kinda fake, it’s helpless to do nothing about it, no follow up plan, no monetization, no up sell. Just getting your users stuck there is the worst experience.

Too bad, too bad.

How do I cancel? I was tricked into thinking it was free and then found out if I don’t cancel in 7 days It will cost me 29.99! But doesn’t tell you how to cancel. Please tell me how to cancel.

Cancel please

Misleading at best. 7 day free trial, then $30 per year! Wasted my time installing & immediately deleting.

My reasons for cancel review is because PlantParent diagnosed my Granite tile floor as a healthy INCHPLANT…WTHECK. I had opened PlantParent accidentally in one of the rooms in my home that doesn't have any house plants in the room. After my first false-positive report(BTW my Granite flooring is healthy however it is NOT an INCHPLANT!! Now I want to check a few other items in my home to see if I get any other false-positive reports. My walls, countertop, hall closet are also diagnosed with good health…hummm. My house plants are healthy as well, plant parent didn't recognize my Dracaena Plant as being a house plant but Ive had this plant for a while now and it is healthy. Not because plant parent helped me but despite the fact that plant parent helped NOT A SINGLE PLANT I have!

Don't waste your hard earned $$ on an app that doesn't know WTHECK it's diagnosing.…………just saying!

I used PlantParent to help me get my plants healthier. It told me that they weren’t getting enough sun. So I moved them to the patio. It said 4-6 hours of full sun. After less than an hour I checked on my plants. One was fully drooped over. I immediately took it inside. It was burned on many leaves. Now, days later, I get a diagnosis that says it is under-watered and needs to be watered more frequently! That’s insane. It wouldn’t look like this if I had just kept doing what I was doing on my own. This is the worst app ever. I wish I could get a refund. Total waste of my money.

No stars. PlantParent reads that it has in app purchases, but when you open PlantParent it tries to force you to start a free trial period that charges you a yearly fee if you pass the free period without terminating in iTunes. ITunes? I did not hit the CONTINUE button. Let’s see if they try to bill me. I am deleting PlantParent .

Dear app developers, I would like to cancel my subscription but I cannot access my subscription info within your app. There is no way to contact you. Please answer this review with how to cancel.

I find some of the info gleaned from the pictures you take to identify a plant is incorrect. Also, I requested to a personal chat with someone once through the “Are you having a plant emergency?” option and no one ever got back to me. That was over 6 months ago and now when I try to use the he option I get a response of “Your ticket quota has been exhausted .” Really? After one use? With a paid subscription?
Also, the notifications for watering, rotating and fertilizing your plant does not allow editing of your plants scheduled tasks. I mean you can edit it but it reverts right back to what it was prior to your edits.
There is way too much manual work that goes into PlantParent. Do yourself a favor and reverse search your photos of your plants using Google Lens. It’s free and it works.
I gave PlantParent 2 stars because I like the journal portion of it.

The schedule had an option to mark tasks that were missed in the past completed. Now it doesn’t. And this is very inconvenient. I often complete tasks on the next day or two and there is no way to mark them “done”. As a result I get confused because I don’t remember which task is completed and which is not. I suggest that you add missed tasks to the next day and mark them as late and add how urgent they are.
I liked PlantParent because of its other features but the main reason I bought it was the reminders schedule. But as it is now your schedule is unfortunately useless.
Another suggestion is to add “how to” section. Sometimes I can’t do things like setting up something like a location or pot size or find the light meter in PlantParent . And it is so annoying to know that I saw the feature I want to use and can’t find it.
In general, it would be good to have a way to communicate with your support team that is not in the form of a review.
I hope to see the changes for better soon.

I don’t know how to get help using this. I take pictures, think I have added it, only to find out I haven’t and don’t know how to get help. Sorry

It is not user friendly. The option to add a plant doesn’t work instinctively. After many attempts, I finally found a way to do it but, by that time, I forgot how I got there. I am sorry to say, I found it frustrating.
Diagnosis was the same for every plant I added. “Yellowing leaves is a natural life cycle of an aging plant”. Another app I tried , Blossom, diagnosed the plants with either root rot, over watering or lack of nutrients. Which nutrients was never disclosed.
The plants were impatients & elephant ears.
I canceled my free week subscription in less than 24 hours.

I got PlantParent to diagnose issues with my houseplants. It was very to take pictures and get a diagnosis. Mostly under watering but also in some cases more light needed. I’m grateful for the reminders feature as I had been watering all plants on a weekly or biweekly schedule but now feel. More confident that the schedule is based on the plant and season. By biggest complaints are with reminders. There isn’t a way to check them off as done. Seems like simple functionality. Also if I fertilize a day late I can indicate which plants I fertilized and update the schedule. It’s a all or nothing override to the schedules for watering and fertilizing. Some work here and this would be a five star app.

Wish there were more features like exporting a list of all your plants and their care info (light/soil/water, etc). Their plant identifier is ok but vague. It will identify the species but not the exact variety. For instance it can’t distinguish between a neon pothos and an N’Joy so you just get Golden Pothos for literally any type of pothos you scan, and it’s like this for many of the plants. I wish there was a better gallery instead of the typical 1 photo for the plant, especially when you’re scanning a cutting and want to know what it will look like matured. I wish it would allow input for adding plants like cutting: Y/N, propagation water or soil, date added to library, track growth progress by asking for a photo of your plant the same way it reminds you to water and fertilize. And I’d also like if there was better assistance with soil recommendations and propagation instructions specific to the plant. A lot of the care info is about as generic as the little tag that comes with the plant. I dont know if other plant apps are better but I plan to research features of the competing plant apps and make a decision from there. Unless of course, developers take my review into consideration and try implementing some of the suggestions I’ve made. Now that- would give PlantParent an absolute value if they end up having highly responsive skilled developers that are assertive and willing to make improvements!

Pros. I like PlantParent for identifying. It’s great in the box stores for more info on a plant you’re thinking of buying. It’ll also let you know if it’sickly. I had a storm blow all my plants and tags around for my vegetable garden. I was able to identify a squash from a cucumber or a watermelon etc.

Cons. It’d be nice if it would tell you if a plant Is considered a WEED in your area.

There is no option for “in ground” in the settings of your plants living space.

It wants me to water my Living Stone every two weeks. This is a huge no no! They are very picky and are only watered at specific times which a photo would tell you when it was ready for water.

Needs more options like backyard vegetable garden, backyard fence line, backyard patio. Etc.

All in all, i think I should have saved my money and just stick with the free version. Hopefully updates will benefit PlantParent and make it more useful.

PS….. The ads I saw showed using strange ideas to perk up your plants. Like using honey or soda etc. I haven’t seen any of that on the actual app.

I like using PlantParent because of the diagnostic feature and I like that it helps me identify certain plants. Those are the 2 pros and the reason I keep it downloaded on my phone. I’m glad they don’t charge for those services bc if they did I would not use it. Free diagnostic and identification is #1 thing I think should be free and glad that it is

But outside of those two features.. there is not much more on PlantParent to keep me engaged. I enjoy reading articles about gardening, botany, and mind bending information that really wows my mind. Like what is in store for plant parents in the near future—bioluminescent plants are an exciting topic

Also, I’d like to learn how and have a guide tool to aid me on my journey in growing all types plants. It would be great if a they had a guide of medicinal plants and herbs. I think anything that is interesting on how we can use our plants, create new ones (hybrids), what’s in store for the future, how to make DIY skin and hair care from plants.
Even how to grow weed (if that’s allowed that would be so cool)

Incorporating fun and learning exciting things would keep me interested and raise my rating for PlantParent

I had been using PlantParent for about a month or so, I feel like it’s pretty accurate.
The other day, my teenage granddaughter asked if I would scan her plant, I did and PlantParent said that her plant needed drainage. OK fair enough, then she went around her house scanning all of her mother‘s plants to find out what they needed. It turns out that all of the fake plants need to be repotted… Lol
so then she scanned a flower off of a blanket, PlantParent said that it was healthy. I had a sticker on my fridge which she scanned that said it was healthy… Lol.
Then she scanned my husband ear, PlantParent identified it as a female orchid that needs some care. Well, that got her started on scanning a bunch of stuff. My necklace was identified as green peas, my sons T-shirt was identified as some exotic plant. So I am questioning the accuracy of PlantParent. is AI filling in the gaps? or does PlantParent really not know what a plant is.

I really like PlantParent a lot. I like that there are care plans for sick plants, how-to guides for each new plant that you scan in. I’m giving it three stars, however, because I cannot find all of my plants in the database and I am unable to edit the watering check off list. Sounds convoluted, I know, but sometimes I don’t water all of them, but there’s no way to indicate that on the watering schedule. You either check that they’ve all been watered or none at all…hard to keep the schedule accurate. Otherwise, wonderful app.

Great app but knowing the layout of a home should be taken into consideration. It says kitchens are recommended places for plants. I have no windows in my kitchen, it’s very dark. And bedrooms are not recommended because there is not enough light even tho it has an east facing window with plenary of light. Way more than my kitchen. It is an apartment and I only have east facing windows with no trees or foliage blocking light from coming inside. My plants tribe in my bedroom and will die in my kitchen.

Plant Parent has a lot of good information and I really enjoyed it. It is helped me often when I was unsure of some things but when it comes to the AI part it missed diagnoses things or types of plants often so I have not been able to rely on it to give me, proper diagnosis at times or even identify plants properly.

I’ve tested it by taking pictures of plants that I know exactly what they are and Plant Parent would say it was a completely different plant. this has happened on at least three occasions. Also, when you want to talk to an expert, you find out that the expert was an AI expert and not an actual human being so that was disappointing as well, but it is a fun app to use and it’s definitely worth the $29 a year for amateurs it is a great app app!

One of my favorite plants, but I have trouble making them grow. They just stay the same size all the time. Even the main stem remains on the thin side. Do I need to change the pit size or feed it more often or feed it some special food? I have tried plant stakes, liquid food and food that comes in little beads for top feeding. One thing I love about this plant is that at Christmas I set my Nativity under it and it looks as though the characters are in a natural environment. So I sometimes have to buy new plants that look full enough. That happens every few years, but it can’t go on forever. I have only so much space and would like to try other plants as well. Thank you.

I have greatly enjoyed PlantParent as I learn more about plants (and grow my collection). The biggest thing missing from PlantParent is the ability to mark individual plants as watered on any given day. There is an option to mark plants watered when scheduled or to mark all as watered. There should be a way to adjust this. Sometimes I miss a day or feel the need to water a day or two early, and I would like my watering schedule to be accurate.

The price seems to be a little steep for a lack of personalization, but I do think it’s a valuable resource. I really enjoy learning more about my plants and the auto-diagnose tool.

I use PlantParent daily and love it, but now that I’m starting to get more rare plants PlantParent is falling short. I now have several plants that are not in the application’s database. It’s not as big of deal for the garden plants, for example peppers for the most part all need the same care. That can’t be said for Philodendrons, which have around 489 species, and Monsteras which only have 59 species but all require slightly different care. I really hope an update is coming soon or the ability to modify our own care sheets that we can submit to the developers. Another suggestion I have is for the advanced settings, and put in what medium type our plants are in. A plant in LECA/PON is not going to need the same watering schedule as a plant in soil mixes.

Love the daily reminders of which plants are due for watering. Tons of other great features such as the sites of your plants, fertilizing schedule, and even a rotation reminder. Love that I can snap a picture of any plant and get a full background on the plant. The only thing I wish PlantParent had was the ability to save/store the plants that you have taken pictures of. I would like to be able to refer back to recall the name of the plant, etc. Overall, love PlantParent . I use it daily.

I went ahead and paid for the subscription because i thought i could get expert help with a few problem plants i have. I uploaded the pictures and left the information in the comments but it’s been a few weeks and no one has gotten back to me. I’ve done it 2X and no response. So be weary if you think you’ll get a response back, seems like that part of PlantParent doesn’t work.

I love everything about PlantParent, it turned me into a green thumb 😁 only thing i would add on there is a way to postpone watering. Some of my plants don’t dry out in the set amount of time between some waterings. I like to keep a set schedule, however, if some of them still have moist soil I would push watering a day or two away from usual schedule. So would be cool to have a “postpone” button to push it a few days after normal watering day and move it to following day until watered.

I’ve recently been trying my hand at gardening after many failed attempts. I like the plant identifier and the way you can add your plants to different sites. I also love the journal because i can take photos and compare them to see the progress or decline. The reminders are great but I tend to forget to water on the exact day of the reminder. So this brings me to a suggestion.

Suggestions: an option to mark the plant “watered or done”, so it knows when to remind me based on the actual day I marked it watered. Currently it just tells me to water every specified number of days but if I miss that mark by 2 days then the next reminder will be -2 days from when I actually watered it.

Another suggestion I have is a “rain” option or a “site watered” where I could mark just my backyard “site” “watered” so my next reminder will be set based on that rain or watered day.

I hope I was able to explain that clearly. I look forward to having progress in my gardening using your app.

I love PlantParent. But don’t like the reminders. But that’s just me.

Could you add photo Id of insects and how to deter or give them some plants to eat but not all. Tell why they are eating the plant. Give more knowledge about nature’s ability to know things about an ecosystem. Use scientific articles like viruses caused by aphids transmitting does that happen with water and air contaminants messing up organic and inorganic chemistry, then messing up soil releasing new or old diseases to aphids and them transmitting or eating more to escape?

How can gardeners balance the health of their water and air? What plants do their birds like to teach birds to forage again more?

I like that a lot of things can be done without needing the subscription, but the subscription still adds a lot of value for the price. Some apps have too much of a paywall and not enough benefits for a high price.

However, it’s not perfect. I’m missing a more comprehensive plant dictionary (they’re missing a lot of plants so I can’t add some of mine to PlantParent ) and a “snooze” button for the reminders (sometimes my plants don’t need water or fertilizing yet but I still have to mark complete).

I absolutely love PlantParent! not only do I use it to help me take care of my vegetable garden… I use it anytime I want to know what type of flower or weed is outdoors. I take a picture of it on PlantParent , & it tells me what it is,& everything about it. It helps me determine plants I want to keep, versus weeds that are growing near it. It tells me if my plants are sick, when they need to be watered, & also gives me suggestions to make them even better. in the past, I couldn’t keep a cactus alive. Now, I’m growing zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, red raspberry & blackberry bushes. They highly recommend you get PlantParent!!

I own two houses side-by-side and garden the entire way around both of them. There were so many plants that I forgot what they were and PlantParent has helped me immeasurably. There were many of them that I was totally confused about. In thinking that I was helping them, I was actually hurting/killing them. I wish I would have had PlantParent years ago before I wasted so much money and time buying plants and having them die in a month or two. Right now I am working on my two beautiful bamboo plants that had outgrown their pots. I had no idea that I could plant them in soil, because they had not been when I bought them. If I didn’t have PlantParent, I would have just put the ball in a pot and put some stones on the top and thought that everything would be fine. Now that I know the right way to do it, I feel like, they could last for many more years.

I literally love PlantParent, it makes it so easy to know when to water and fertilize your plants. I love getting a new plant and being able to add it to my collection. The only thing that gets annoying sometimes is the constant reminder to pay for the extended features on PlantParent. Which I’m sure are amazing, but I don’t need a reminder every time I open PlantParent . Other than that I love using PlantParent because it’s super simple to navigate and keep track of your plants!

PlantParent works great its helped so much especially with my monstera you have a 7 free day trail then you pay for a year but PlantParent works great itll scan you plant and say it looks health if its cared well for but if it dose not look good on one of the leafs or something of the plant ZOOM into it ok for developers -• PlantParent is awesome thank you so much but could you turn down the price am looking for a-plant app thats completely free and works this one works but the year payment? mabye if you could lower the price down?? thank you!

Not only does PlantParent find every plant and get it correct, which is a miracle, it is the most informative plant care resource I’ve ever found. I can kill most plants, hence my desperate need for help. Not only does it easily identify plants but it guides on placement, light, issues and cures, care, as well as you can basically inventory your plants and their location. PlantParent will also let you know when your plant needs care by sending reminders. I have not one complaint, I love everything about PlantParent. It’s informative, easy to use, and accurate but it beats out anything I’ve ever tried and it makes me feel like my thumb may not be completely black which means a lot to me! Get it now, your plants beg you, you won’t regret it.

My green thumb hasn’t been so green. Ever since I downloaded PlantParent my thumb is getting green. It has helped with care for each of my babies and the notifications to help with watering or fertilizer has been a life saver literally. For a newbie this has been great and even if your not a newbie PlantParent will help with so much. Notifications, helping with how long in between to water and fertilizing when seasons and climates change. Recommend for sure.

I love, love, love PlantParent. I have always admired the beauty of flowers. My husband started buying me expensive plants and I just kept killing them. Each time they died he’d just buy more. I seriously do not have a green thumb. I even killed the steel plants and cactus. So I just got frustrated and told him not to buy anymore. Then he started planting flowers outside and he didn’t kill them. At least not all of them. I was talking to a relative and she told me about your app and I started using it to help him outside. Now he has started buying me beautiful indoor plants and I haven’t had to throw any away yet. I have saved two so far. Your app is a wealth of information and I am so grateful for it and everyone that contributes to it. Thanks to plant parent I have found my first hobby and I look forward to the journey.
Much appreciated

Please cancel my subscription - my grandson was playing with my phone n hit the subscribe button. I’m 70 n don’t need anymore expenses.

I love PlantParent! I signed up thinking I’d check it out but probably let it go. I’m keeping it! I have LOTS of succulents. I was getting different friendly advice on how often to water them - 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks. Needless to say I lost some of them. I was so afraid of over watering them that I let some of them die of thirst. Very upsetting! There are two different succulents that I bought two different times; lost them both, both times. I am going to buy them again. I know that with the help of “Plant Parent” this time they’ll survive and have long and healthy lives.

PlantParent is aimed at helping you take care of your plants. I do use it for identification as well, but that is not its primary function. It is a phenomenal tool for caring for my green babies! I recommend it to all the plant parents in my life—from the dabblers to pros,—but it is especially helpful if you have any memory struggles at all that relate to your plants.

PlantParent helps me make good watering decisions by keeping my time-blind, forgetful ADHD self on a schedule for each individual plant type in its site and conditions. And it takes the weather into account too so that I don’t water right before it rains a lot. It also helps you determine when to feed your plants if you need that.

The watering schedules and reminders are especially helpful for indoor plants.

The plant identification tool that works with your camera is really decent. That’s not its primary job, but PlantParent does it well enough.

Where PlantParent ’s camera tool really shines, however, is in evaluating the health of your plant and identifying the likely cause of any distress and then explaining, in detail, how to treat that issue.

I’m so happy PlantParent exists, and I am deeply grateful for it! I’d give it 11 out of 5 stars.

Right now I haven’t paid a cent but PlantParent has correctly identified all my plants from pictures and, from what I can tell as a plant novice, diagnosed my struggling plants and provided me with a plan. I’ve ordered liquid fertilizer and I’ve been getting watering reminders. I mean, like I said, to get this assistance for free is great! But I guess if my struggling plants don’t improve over time, then I would maybe ask for professional assistance (like PlantParent has been prompting me to do) and then I’d be inclined to pay a little $$. Overall I just feel like PlantParent truly is informative and helpful and doing its part to make my life a bit easier. So…5 stars! Highly recommended!

I love love love PlantParent, the free version is amazing and doesn’t throw the paid version in your face 24/7, it also doesn’t put a cap on diagnosis’s number of plants etc. unlike a lot of other apps, it genuinely seems like the developers wanted to help people and their plants and don’t just want money. However I think a cool thing to add would be a share feature for the plant lessons let’s take “Houseplants 101: how to turn your brown thumb to a green thumb” I’d love to share that with my mom but there’s no way to do that. Overall, great app even with no money involved!

So far so good

I have never had a green thumb in my entire life. I got a pup about 5 years ago from a plant of a client who is in her 80s that receive the mother plant almost 60 years ago for college graduation. It’s a snake plant….and I almost killed it over fertilizing it. I was able to propagate from one salvageable leaf, and after a week of trail with PlantParent, I purchased a subscription and just renewed another year already. I’m now a plant mom because of PlantParent. I have another succulent for the last 3 years now, and it has about 14 pups on it! I had an aloe pup of 4 little shoots and I’m now at 16….and that’s with it getting too much rain from storms a few times. I also have an elephant bush (that one has been easy to care for), and I’m on my 4th season with a Calla Lily (my favorite plant ever) who gave me 1 seed pod last year, but SEVEN pods this year! PlantParent has given me a green thumb! The only thing I wish it allowed was for me to add the names of my plants in PlantParent ….because I’ve given them all names.

I just bought a house and started a garden in February was having some troubles when I first started the gardening and came across PlantParent. Since I’ve had PlantParent, I’ve been able to diagnose a lot of my plant problems. I’ve been able to actually delete some of them that it didn’t go well there and was able to get fertilizer and fungicide and watering schedule going. I think this is gonna be a great out for me and my garden. It has flourished tremendously. I live in North Carolina and this is the first time I’ve ever done Gardening because this is my first home. I’ve bought that has such a lush area to plant in. I highly recommend PlantParent. It has saved some of my plants and it is taught me a lot about how to take care of them.

I have been using another app from PlantParent Store (I won’t say the name out of respect) for over a year but my plants were slowly dying one at a time. I switched to PlantParent and within days I realized my plants were either getting overwatered or underwatered. Most of them weren’t even identified correctly. I love PlantParent because it makes everything so simple yet there is so much information within each plants little hub. So you can research and diagnose and learn so much about all kinds of species of plants. And every morning I wake up and I am excited to go and mark off my watering or fertilizing checklist. Every girl loves checklist!! I now have 67 plants that are all healthy and growing so fast. Thank you, this app!

I did start the seven day free trial. I have used this before, but I do not think it was AI before and I’ve tried a non-AI ones and their ignorant and they tell me the wrong things I start testing all of them by asking them questions about plants I already know what they are and when they get those wrong, I’m done with them. This one actually with the AI component has told me true names of plants. My problem is I was within the seven day trial. And you guys made me purchase either one or the many year options. I think I’m in my third max fourth day but I think it’s my third in the trial yet you made me purchase anyway that’s the problem I have with these apps because there’s no phone number to call and I’m glad I can even get anything out information wise to the company because other than that, I am not liking the fact that I wasn’t given the full seven days.
So I paid the 4999 for multiple years, which if they keep their word, this will be a good deal.

I love PlantParent! I’m finally able to keep plants alive haha. It’s scanning tools are very accurate as well. Only thing I would change is if you haven’t hit complete or miss a day that PlantParent recognizes that. Like you don’t water it until 2 days later and then you hit complete and PlantParent recognizes that and changes the schedule based off that (seen this in other apps) but overall this is my favorite plant app!

PlantParent is amazing. I finally know all my plants by name (simply took a quick pic and voila - all I need to know about that plant appears, including whether it is sick or now. The care plans on how to make each plant healthier and the reminders for watering and fertilizing are spot on. The only reason I gave it 4 star is because many of the plants are being watered automatically. I can’t select which plants I wish to set water reminders for and which one not. Other than that PlantParent is perfection !

I just put it on my phone. I’m on the seven day trial and so far it has been wonderful. I’m identifying and finding out what’s wrong with some of my plants which is great so I can fix them instead of letting them die from whatever disease or thing is on them highly recommend it so far. Ask me again in a month and we’ll see.

PlantParent is extremely helpful and affordable especially for a novice plant person like myself who is either guilty of over watering or under watering my plants. I’ve seen some plants I thought were dead and forgotten, fully recover solely following the schedule set forth by the Plant Parent app. The notifications and diagnose for my plants are extremely helpful.

Would love to see a way for people who earn little money for what ever the reason: disabled, elderly/ fixed income, students, ….. to be able to afford PlantParent. Everyone plants or has plants but not everyone has access to information available to the upper class.

I use this program, Plant Parent, daily. I find it somewhat inconsistent with naming some plants but that is not my main problem with the program. It would be very helpful to be able to sort the plants I own into summer dormant, and winter dormant and those that don’t go dormant. A tab like the one for placement would be great.
Thank you

I really like PlantParent . It tells you when to water & fertilize the plants. Also if your plant looks sick PlantParent will help you find the reason it’s looking sickly. Some time you get busy & forget how long it’s been since you fertilized the plants, PlantParent will tell you what you need to do next for healthy plants. My plants are looking better because of the reminders PlantParent sends you.

I downloaded these app about a week ago and love it so far, I just wished it would send push notifications, sync with my calendar, and allow me to change location from indoor to outdoor. And a progress report on how sick plants are doing. Other than that, these app has been right on on identifying my plants. Didn’t realize how many house plants I actually had until I got these app.

I really like PlantParent. Had a subscription to others but wanted something better to care for my indoor plants, patio plants and greenhouse plants. I like how I got to add all my house plants and you even had a menu of rooms. I liked that PlantParent let me set up my plants and get used to PlantParent . I was not rushed into subscribing right away. When you did ask me to subscribe it was under $30 a year, others were $35 $40. *****.

I love how accurate it is and how convenient and easy it is to be operated and also love how it folds up information from how to germinate to take care and diagnose what’s wrong with your plant and also how we recommend white fertilizer to give it in different stage I would recommend it to everyone and I have already doing that slowly putting everyone onto it. It’s a wonderful app. Keep up the good work and please keep it free for us and I was.

I posted in my prior review that PlantParent was almost great, but the date was wrong, which meant the reminders were wrong for the time of year! Anyway… they fixed it! Thx creator! Now if you could just pretty please add dining room to the list of room lol, I’ll be sooo grateful! Thx again!

I have been gardening for years and needed an app to help me with identifying plants that came up out of nowhere, and also figuring out some of the plant diseases and issues. PlantParent does all of that and more as a matter of fact, it also provides a schedule for watery and fertilizing the different plants in the garden and in the house. I am Dion pleased with the city. Extremely happy that I came across PlantParent and I will suggested friends, family and associates and anyone else who is into gardening or has plants in their household

My plants were struggling to survive even though I have always had a green thumb , but they just need the right touch ! With PlantParent sending me notifications every day at the correct time to water/fertilize - WOW !! My golden pothos has quadrupled in size!!! All of my plants are so much healthier now ! PlantParent even identifies plants in my backyard- so I know which ones can stay and which ones have to go ( poison ivy/oak) .
PlantParent is worth the subscription price !

I love it, I am a beginner and I am in the stage where I am still learning the names of most plants. With that being true, I love being able to take a picture and find out what it is as well as finding out if it is also healthy. I don’t think that this knowledge is information that most people have. Also, I am sharing this as a “gift” with my 6 year old son and it makes it so much fun!

Really like the plant parent app! I’ve been “growing” in my ability to bring the best out of plants (pun intended!) and PlantParent really helps me stay on top of things! I have a lot of plants now (some originals, some babies of existing plants) and it is helpful to be reminded when a specific one needs attention!

I also love the auto diagnose feature. The homemade solution recommended for fungus worked great on my ivy! Thank you!

This site is absolutely amazing 🤩! It answers every question you could possibly have! It finds any 🪴 and gives you ALL the information you need to care for it and the environment it needs to be in to thrive! It is awesome! 😎🤩 It leaves no stone unturned! 🤪lol. It is the best site ever and I absolutely, 💯, recommend it! It is worth every penny! I’m in the free trial period right now, which is 7 days, and it actually asks you if you would like to be reminded before the 7 days are up! So wonderful! Who doesn’t want to be reminded? Love 💗 it!

I really like PlantParent . It has great information and help save an Easter Lily I have had for years. I like the reminders and didn’t realize in many of my plants the watering cycle was way different than I thought. My plants are thriving now (for the most part - I am still human)

I would like to see a function in there that you missed a day and watered a day or two late (or fertilized)m a day or two late) and have it recalculate when you should water the plant. Also have the ability to go back a couple days and say you did water..

We have a nice size deck so I decided to try my hand at gardening this spring. I found Plant Parent and after reading the reviews and looking at all PlantParent has to offer, I have the premium version. This has been the first time I’ve done much container gardening. I’m proud to say my plants are not only alive after a hot summer but the are actually thriving. I credit Plant Parent for my success.
I have neighbors who come to me for gardening questions. I recommend PlantParent to anyone who needs help and info! Thanks for a great app.
One last note, this is a bargain for all PlantParent offers!

I love PlantParent & 100% helps me keep all my plants alive & happy.
I love & am so happy that you can now click “complete” on the days you have tasks. But I do wish I could still click “complete” on the days before my official reminder day. I don’t always have time to water on the exact day I’m suppose to. So it’d be helpful be able to check complete on yesterdays task as well.

Either way, I am a happy camper & truly enjoy this helpful app.

This Ap has helped me ALOT ! I Can also speak to an expert which always helps. However I wish there would be individualized attention per plant. Not all my plants need watering daily and some need more light as suggested but I can’t move them so I would like an option if possible. Other than that I would recommend that everyone use it and pay the yearly membership it has helped me as a new plant parent. I have 56 plants. ❤️

I investigated several other apps before purchasing this one. The others were a) Outrageously price and/or sorely lacking in features. OMG PlantParent keeps me on my toes! I never realized what all I should be doing for my plants! I have only been using less than a month and the difference in my plants is amazing! Some of my plants are quite old and look so much better. If they could, I am sure they would thank me or maybe even hug me?!

So I have had PlantParent for over a year and a half. For the most part it’s very good. Especially for identifying plants and plant problems. I like that I am reminded when to water and fertilize my indoor plants especially when I get a new plant that I am unfamiliar with caring for. Like my orchids. The only thing that really bugs me is that I live in zone 4, in Minnesota. Where we have snowy frozen winters. And while the apps AI is good at alerting me for summer rains and not to overwater the outdoor plants and trees. It continues to remind me to water and fertilize them all winter long! That’s quite impossible with 5 feet of snow in the yard! I have tried using the settings to stop this nonsense, but the only option is to suspend it until the next watering schedule! So maybe you could add a seasonal setting to PlantParent ? Otherwise I like PlantParent a lot. When I have questions about care, I actually have the option of talking with a real person!!!! What??? That’s awesome 👏! Yay!

This app works nicely, but don't have any problems, like changing your phone because your subscription will not be available. their incompetent IT staff is clueless about how to transition from iPhone Android. They give very bad advice and are not in the least bit helpful beyond telling the customer how to solve their problem, rather than assisting. Even refused to connect with business people to resolve problem. there are plenty of other apps that work fine and actually have technical/business support. do not buy this

I hereby unsubscribe the Plant Parent app. Kindedt regards/ Erik

I have fact checked many of the suggestions for plants in distressed and more than half came up as incorrect procedures. Be vigilant before you follow the instructions , If you love the plant In distress. plants cannot drink milk and sugar water is not a solution

Cancel my subscription immediately! Dena Flynn 512-585-8101

This app is useless. You take a photo of your plant. It scans and identifies it correctly but it always tells you your plant is healthy even when it is half-dead. I have had no advice on taking care of sick plants because it identifies it as healthy. Absolutely useless.
