Plant and garden care app Planta has announced the release of an upgraded plant identification tool, called Quick Add. The company states that the software upgrade is designed to help users identify plants, add them to the app, and receive automated care schedules.

The new 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 a tailored care setting.

“The goal is to make smart plant care more intuitive,” says 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 a plant is added to the app, users receive ongoing reminders for watering, fertilizing, misting, repotting and other care tasks. By accounting for more than 100 variables, the system adapts care recommendations over time to support long-term plant health.

The updated iOS app is now available, and additional details can be found at getplanta.com.
