Users take a photo to identify a plant, and the app then sets reminders for watering, fertilizing, misting, repotting and cleaning. According to the homepage, the watering reminders use local climate and weather data. A plant journal records care over time, and care schedules can be shared with friends and family.\n\nDr. Planta analyzes symptoms such as yellow leaves, brown spots, pests or slow growth, then gives step-by-step treatment recommendations. The built-in light meter helps users judge which rooms suit a plant. The app is free to download and uses in-app purchases, and the App Store lists a 12-month Premium Plant Care subscription. The homepage says the app is made in Sweden."
