What is the easiest way to identify cacti?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way to identify any desert plant or indoor plant is to take a picture of the plant and scan it via Botan. That’s how you get its name in a few moments.

Question 3

Can Botan identify cacti at different growth stages?

Yes, the app focuses on stable traits, such as growth type, areole patterns, rib structure, and spine features. It doesn’t focus on changing features such as color or the plant's overall shape, so species ID results are accurate for both younger and mature species.
