Buyer questions
How accurate is the plant identification?
Botan's automatic identification system provides 98% accuracy on the first attempt, returning the plant's common name, scientific name, and a detailed care plan. Accuracy depends on photo quality, with clear, well-lit shots of leaves or flowers giving the best results.
Can I use Botan for outdoor plants?
Yes, Botan identifies both houseplants and outdoor plants. The database covers over 30,000 species including trees, shrubs, vines, herbs, grasses, ferns, succulents, and cacti. Just take a photo of an outdoor plant and wait 1-3 seconds for extensive information.
Does Botan work offline?
Botan requires a stable internet connection to function properly. If your connection drops while using the app, you can still take a photo, but identification, analysis, expert recommendations, and other features will only become available after the connection is restored.
Can I identify plants from gallery photos instead of taking new pictures?
Yes, you can upload photos from your gallery. Tap the Camera icon in the bottom menu, then tap the Gallery icon in the bottom-left corner, allow Botan access to your photos, and select a picture of your plant to scan. You can grant limited access to specific photos.
What happens to my plant data if I switch devices?
Your account information is stored on Botan's servers. If you log in to your account on another device, you will retain access to all your plants, care plans, and other features. No information will be lost when switching devices.
