World mapPlant knowledge

Cross-device & privacy

PC for planning. Phone for the bed.

One account — two strengths. Clear at home and outdoors.

PC & tablet

This is where you plan calmly: outlines, overview, FloraPlaner.

Draw garden outlines comfortably and precisely
Keep beds, collection and planning in view

Phone

Outdoors in the garden: take a photo — done.

Scan & identify right at the plant
GPS and placement are handled automatically

Privacy first — 100% private by default

All finds, trees and gardens are visible only to you. The community sees nothing until you explicitly share a find.

Our strengths

For hobby growers, the green trade and botanical gardens — each told clearly.

World map & spots

A world map that grows with you

Community finds, Green Directory, urban gardening & parks, geocaching, EXIF pins and routes on one interactive map — searchable, filterable and always expandable.

Plant & nature spots worldwide
Finds with GPS coordinates, hardiness zone and care tips — right on the spot. Also placeable later via EXIF photo.
Green Directory — free for businesses
Nurseries, tree nurseries, horticultural businesses and markets list themselves completely free and appear in the app and on the map.
Urban gardening, parks & community gardens
Public and community gardens with opening hours and description under Gardens & places — from neighbourhood plots to botanical parks.
Geocaching layer
Flora caches and discovery tours on the map — find hidden spots, report them and share with the community.
EXIF photo upload
Photos from dead zones or on the go: GPS from metadata is read and pins the find on the world map afterwards.
World route planner
Plan tours to spots and gardens worldwide — order, distance and offline maps in FloraSpotter PRO.
Plant radar
Vibration when approaching nearby pins — the proximity alert keeps you exploring without staring at the display.

NPK & micronutrients

N5.2P3.1K4.0

Fe · Mg · Ca · trace elements — tuned to stage and light.

Expert mode · Fertilizer engine

Fertilizer engine — lab-grade precision

The engine calculates exact NPK needs and matching substrates individually — based on leaf mass, light (lux/PAR), plant species, current season and soil. Pot or in-ground: the recommendation follows your plant, not averages.

Expert mode

Crystal clear: the Fertilizer Engine is a central part of Expert Mode — pro NPK, substrates and measurements in one place.

Individual NPK & substrate calculation
Leaf mass, lux/PAR, species, season and soil produce your exact nutrient and substrate plan — for pots and outdoor beds.
LiDAR scan
Capture leaf volume and structure via LiDAR — fast, device-based measurement without guesswork.
AI photo with scale reference
4 side photos (north/east/south/west) plus a scale — AI derives precise leaf area and volume for your NPK calculation.
Manual entry
Enter values directly — ideal on desktop or when sensors are unavailable.

Every user gets 3 free test calculations to experience the precision live. Unlimited analyses and full Expert Mode are included with FloraSpotter PRO.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Short answers — from EXIF upload and plant radar to the exchange.

Our AI (powered by state-of-the-art vision technology) analyzes leaves, flowers, and growth in seconds and delivers the scientific name plus precise identification confidence.

If your photo contains GPS in its metadata, FloraSpotter reads it and places the pin on the world map — even later or after offline tours. Without EXIF GPS you set the location manually. Processing only happens when you upload the photo and save the spot; see the privacy policy for details.

Plant radar (proximity alert) vibrates when you approach nearby pins — if you allow location and vibration. Discover spots on the go without staring at the screen. You can turn it off anytime.

Enable the geocaching layer on the world map, follow flora caches and plan discovery tours. Log finds, share spots and combine routes — solo or with the community.

Under Gardens & places you can add urban gardening, parks and community gardens — including opening hours and a description so others know when it is open and what to expect.

Yes! You can draw plots or beds with millimeter precision on our interactive world map, place plants, and keep them private or share with the community.

Yes — 100% by default. New finds, trees and gardens are visible only to you. The community sees nothing until you explicitly make a find or garden public.

On PC or tablet you calmly plan and draw garden outlines. On your phone you stand in the bed, take a photo — the app handles GPS and places the find. Both sync in one account.

Free lets you try core features like the world map, test scans and spots. PRO (from €3.99/month) unlocks unlimited offline maps, the world route planner, advanced stats, badges & trackables, plus early access to the upcoming variegata/leaf exchange and photographer community.

Create offers or wanted listings for cuttings and seeds. Exchange pins appear directly on the world map so you can easily connect with like-minded growers in your region or worldwide.
