PlantNet
authentic ratingPeople value it for accuracy and being free, using it for years on walks and in the garden to tell flowers from weeds before anything blooms. It breaks on two fronts: US users started getting hit with IP-based blocks, and it only identifies the species, it does not tell you how to care for the plant. Anyone expecting watering and feeding advice will find nothing here.
