How the plant identifier works

From one photo to a useful care decision.

Photograph a plant and review the result state. A supported match can move into confirmation, saving and plant-specific care; a Prediction remains a lead to verify.

More than a plant name

Ask about the plant in front of you.

Garden Sage combines the photo with your question, so the answer begins with this plant—not a generic care list.

What plant is this?

See a clearly labelled prediction or supported match without hiding uncertainty.

Why are the leaves changing?

Ask about yellowing, browning, spots, powder or visible pest damage.

What should I do next?

Turn the visible evidence into one clear, practical care step.

How do I keep track?

Save the plant, notes and care history together in My Garden.

Plant problem guides

Start with what you can see.

Before changing care, compare the visible pattern with roots, moisture, weather and recent changes.

Curling, rolling or wilting leaves

Start with the plant and the exact change.

Use a plant-specific checklist when you know the plant, or start with a broader symptom guide when you do not.

A gardener using Garden Sage beside leafy plants

Designed for the garden

Built for real plants, not generic answers.

Use one clear photo in the place where the question happens. Garden Sage keeps the result readable, practical and close to the plant.

03Care notes and history together in My Garden

Confidence without false certainty

Useful when the answer is clear. Honest when it is not.

Garden Sage separates supported visual evidence from possibilities. It can ask for another photo or a plant name instead of inventing a diagnosis, and it never replaces professional advice for toxicity or urgent risks.

A small app with a practical purpose.

Garden Sage started as a practical way to make better sense of plants in a real garden, then grew into an iPhone app that other gardeners could try on theirs.

Garden clubs can also use our meeting-ready plant identification resources to compare app suggestions with visible evidence and local knowledge.
