Plant ID names a plant from a photo, shows how it grows, and can save it to My Library. The first screen says “Identifying is always free.” and “Plant ID is for plants only.”

• You must be signed in (free). The window offers to sign you in when you press a photo button.
• The site owner turns Plant ID on by adding a key in Settings, VisionScaper. The code supports a Pl@ntNet API key for plants and a fal.ai key as a fallback. Until a key is added the window says “Plant ID is being set up and will be available soon.” Follow the provider’s current instructions to get a key.

1. In the Add tool (key P), press Plant ID (next to Add my own item).
2. Choose the part you will photograph: Whole plant, Leaf, Flower, Fruit / berry or Bark. A flower or single leaf is usually easiest.
3. Press Take a photo or Upload a photo. Fill the frame with that part, in focus, in daylight.
4. Wait for “Identifying your plant…”.
5. Read the result card: the name, the scientific name, and a match line such as “Probably · 45% match”. It also lists “Could also be:” look-alikes (up to three).
6. Read “How it grows”: mature size, growth rate, sun, bloom time, hardiness zones and whether it is native, plus a small picture at planting, 3, 5 and 10 years. The source line says whether it is linked to a library plant, based on a close relative, or estimated.
7. To keep it, press Add to My Library. The window shows how much storage the plant uses and how much you have left. Or press No thanks.
8. After saving you can press Place it in my design, or Full plant facts, or Identify another.

• Photograph one leaf plus a flower if you can, then try the whole plant.
• Warnings come from a built-in list of plant names, not a full database. They cover poison ivy family, common weeds and some invasives. Treat them as help, not a guarantee, and confirm with a local expert.
• If the plant has no growth data, a saved plant is shown at a fixed size.
• Saved plants go in the group “Identified plants” (or “Weeds”).

• “We couldn’t identify that plant. Try a closer, clearer photo of one leaf or flower.” Retake it.
• “That doesn’t look like a plant.” Plant ID only identifies plants.
• “That’s a lot of identifying today! Try again tomorrow.” A daily server limit was reached (code default 60; placeholder).
• “Your storage is full.” Add more storage, or delete unused My Library items.
• “Plant ID isn’t switched on yet.” The owner needs to add a key.
