Almost everybody loves houseplants, but sometimes it can seem like they don’t love us. To those of us who don’t have a degree in botany, it can be a mystery why some plants thrive while others wither in the same spot. Now there’s help for everyday plant moms and dads in the form of Plantum, an AI-based app that can help you both identify and care for your flowers, ferns, and other flora. A lifetime subscription is only $14.97 through July 23.

Get to know your greenery

We don’t often think of artificial intelligence as bringing us closer to nature, but that’s exactly what Plantum was designed to do. The app has a library of more than 14,000 plant species, and simply snapping a picture lets the AI imaging tools identify them with over 95% accuracy.

Of course, Plantum gives you a lot more than just a name for your plant. Once you have the species, you can get care tips specific to that type. You can learn what kind of light is best, how many times a day to water it and what kind of fertilizer suits it best. Plantum can even diagnose common plant diseases on sight and recommend remedies.

Save on Plantum, a 24/7 plant encyclopedia

The app’s usefulness doesn’t stop when you’ve learned the names of all the plants in your house. You can use it to keep a journal of care and set alerts that remind you when to water or rotate your leaves to maximize the sun’s rays. And of course, it’s great for learning about new trees and flowers on nature hikes or camping trips. The app has earned 4.6 stars in the App Store from more than 82,000 users and now you can join them with a Premium Plan.

A Plantum – AI Plant Identifier Premium Plan: Lifetime Subscription is only $14.97 through July 23.
