The nursery label disappeared, the plant came from a cutting, or you just bought something pretty at the grocery store without checking its name. Our free houseplant identifier answers "what houseplant is this?" with the scientific name from a photo. With the right name you can look up light, water and pet safety from trustworthy sources.
How It Works
Take one photo of the whole plant to show how it grows (trailing, upright, rosette or tree-like), and one close-up of a typical leaf, front side up. Natural light from a window gives the most accurate color and pattern. The result shows the scientific name with a copy button and a Wikipedia link.
Key Benefits
- Separates look-alike houseplants such as ZZ plant and Chinese evergreen, or calathea and prayer plant (Maranta)
- Names trendy plants like Monstera, Pilea, Hoya and String of Pearls from a quick photo
- Gives the correct name to search before repotting, propagating or buying a matching plant
- Helps pet owners check plants against toxicity lists using the scientific name
- One free identification a day on the website, with more through the Telegram bot or iOS app

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about houseplant identifier
Photograph the whole plant and one leaf up close, upload the image, and you get the most likely scientific name. Popular results include Monstera deliciosa, Zamioculcas zamiifolia (ZZ plant), Ficus lyrata (fiddle-leaf fig) and Pilea peperomioides.
Both are in the prayer plant family and fold their leaves at night. Maranta (prayer plant) is usually low and spreading with smaller oval leaves, while Calathea (now often Goeppertia) grows taller, upright leaves with bolder patterns.
Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum), Boston fern and most calatheas are commonly listed as non-toxic to cats. Always verify the exact scientific name with a vet or the ASPCA list before relying on it.
No, the tool returns the scientific name and a Wikipedia link. Once you have the name, you can search reputable care guides for that specific plant.
