Review from Trustpilot

That’s the best app in my experience, without price cheating and with high accuracy. At least I didn’t have any trouble with it.

Review from Trustpilot

Use Botan for about a month now. My favorite feature is that the plant identification is spot on and the care schedules are work. I set up reminders for my fiddle leaf fig and it's doing way better. Only thing is sometimes the app takes a sec to load the results, noticeable. Would still recommend it to anyone who's into houseplants.
