Planta released an upgraded plant ID tool, Quick Add, designed to help users identify and add plants to the app and receive smart care schedules. This new feature goes beyond basic identification to analyze a plant’s environment and make customized care recommendations.
With one scan, users can capture their home or garden setup. The Quick Add tool automatically detects plant species, light conditions, pot type, drainage, soil and overall plant health, then adds each plant to a personalized collection with tailored care settings.
The tool builds on seven years of user data, including millions of plant setups and care outcomes and combines it with new AI vision technology. This allows Planta to provide more precise care schedules based on each plant’s unique environment, rather than relying on generalized guidance.
“The goal is to make smart plant care more intuitive,” said Jesper Svenson, CEO of Planta. “By combining plant identification with environmental analysis, we’re helping users better understand the parameters contributing to how their plants are growing and precisely what they need to stay healthy.”
Once added to the app, users receive ongoing reminders to water, fertilize, mist, repot and perform other care tasks. By accounting for over 100 variables, the system adapts care recommendations over time to support long-term plant health.
The release reflects increasing demand for smart tools that not only identify plants but also interpret their needs in real-world conditions. By integrating environmental parameters with identification, Planta plans to streamline plant care, helping users reduce plant loss and improve outcomes across indoor and outdoor environments.
Key highlights of the new Quick Add tool include:
AI-powered, full-setup detection: A single scan captures the entire growing environment, automatically identifying plant species while analyzing light conditions, pot type, drainage, soil type, and overall plant health. Each plant is then added to the user’s collection with customized care settings.
Personalized, data-driven care guidance: Planta creates tailored care schedules using over 100 parameters, delivering timely reminders for watering, fertilizing, misting, repotting and more, helping maintain consistent care and healthier plants.
Fast, seamless plant onboarding: Users can quickly scan and add plants in seconds, creating a complete, customized schedule with no manual input.
Planta’s cutting-edge Quick Add tool addresses growing demand for seamless technology that not only identifies plants but also interprets their needs in real time, decreasing plant loss and achieving better long-term outcomes.
The updated Planta app, featuring the new Quick Add tool, is now available on iOS.
