The app is available for iOS and Android devices, with a freemium model, and supports multiple languages. It has been featured in technology and consumer media for its plant identification and plant care tools.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

Plantum, originally released under the name NatureID, launched on iOS on August 22, 2019, and later became available on Android on September 21, 2020.[4] By 2020, the app included plant disease diagnosis tools and automated care reminder features.[5] Later updates introduced additional tools such as a built-in light meter and access to botanist consultation services.[6]

In 2023, the app was rebranded from NatureID to Plantum. Version 6.0 also introduced a programme providing free premium access to students and educators.[7] That same year, Plantum received the Gold Award for Best Mobile App from the Best Mobile App Awards.[8] Plantum has been featured on Google Play in more than 170 countries across categories, including Education, Discover, and Science, and has surpassed 20 million downloads across platforms by 2025.[9][10]

Plantum provides plant identification for more than 33,000 species, along with disease diagnosis and plant care guidance. Additional features include a plant journal, encyclopedia, light and pot measurement tools, search filters, and local weather tracking.
