Tips for Best Results

  • Use natural daylight whenever possible. Sunlight brings out details and true colors. Avoid using flash — it tends to wash out greens and yellows.
  • Include clear leaf details in your photo. Close-ups showing leaf shape, texture, and any flowers help produce more accurate identifications.
  • Ensure even lighting with no harsh shadows. A sunny room or covered porch provides ideal conditions.
  • Use a clean, uncluttered background. A simple backdrop helps the AI focus on the plant rather than surrounding objects.
  • Include flowers, fruits, or seeds if present. These distinctive features help pinpoint the exact species.
