Education App of the Month – PlantCue

Our team recently tested and covered PlantCue, the new plant identifier and care app, and came away impressed by its range of features and practical value for gardeners. With its blend of smart technology and easy-to-use tools, we’re delighted to recognize PlantCue our Education App of the Month. Here’s why.

PlantCue, a new app available for both iOS and Android, promises to make plant care smarter, easier, and more reliable for everyone from curious beginners to seasoned green thumbs.

At first glance, PlantCue looks like a simple plant identifier: snap a picture of any flower, tree, or houseplant, and the app will tell you exactly what you’re looking at. But its true value lies in everything that comes after.

With a built-in plant disease diagnosis tool, PlantCue helps users understand why a plant might be struggling. Just upload a photo, and the app delivers a fast health check complete with a confidence score and clear solutions. Whether it’s spotting early signs of disease or recommending changes in watering or light, the app puts an end to endless online guesswork.

Beyond plant emergencies, PlantCue is designed to keep greenery thriving long-term. Users can set custom reminders for watering and fertilizing, maintain a plant journal with unlimited entries, and track growth through a timeline that doubles as a personal scrapbook for their digital garden.

The app also encourages users to look beyond their own homes. A built-in community allows plant lovers to exchange tips, share photos, and offer advice. For quick guidance, there’s AskCue, an AI assistant that delivers instant, practical advice tailored to specific plants. And for those worried about safety, PlantCue can confirm whether a plant is toxic to children or pets.

What makes PlantCue stand out is the way it merges technology and trust. Instead of overwhelming users with scientific jargon, it provides clear, actionable guidance backed by AI and a growing community of enthusiasts.

For the millions who’ve wondered why their fern turned brown or their orchid refused to bloom, PlantCue could be the answer—a personal horticulturist, right in your pocket. And with its launch on both iOS and Android, help for struggling plants is now just a download away.
