Botan is a plant identification and care service designed to help beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts make confident decisions. Through its website and mobile app, users can upload a photo or take a picture to identify plants in seconds. Its database covers more than 30,000 species, including houseplants, flowers, trees, herbs, succulents, weeds, and other varieties.

Beyond identification, Botan helps users detect plant diseases and their possible causes, then provides step-by-step treatment and care plans. Guidance can include watering, fertilizing, and pruning schedules, as well as toxicity information and practical care tips. Users can also search the plant database, save discoveries, and contact a botanist through live chat for advice. The service is intended to make plant care more manageable by bringing identification and ongoing guidance together in one place. Botan offers a free first identification on its website; its app provides subscription access to additional features, including unlimited scans and plant health tools.
