About Botanicaly
An independent houseplant-care app from Stockholm. Press facts, boilerplate, and contact, free to use and quote.
Fast facts
Botanicaly is a calm, AI-powered houseplant-care app for iPhone and Android. It identifies plants from photos and builds watering schedules for the conditions in your home. The JungleBook (Botanicaly’s plant encyclopedia) starts with a hand-checked core, then creates and caches a careful profile on demand when a plant is missing. Pro adds a context-first “Ask about this plant”, photo health checks and Light Meter. Pet-safety in curated entries is checked against ASPCA data. On-demand profiles use conservative safeguards. Botanicaly is made by an independent team in Stockholm, Sweden, with no ads and no data sold.
A note on the name: "Botanicaly" has one L. "Botanically" is the adverb. Botanicaly is an intentional brand name, distinct from other plant-related products or services with similar names.

How we verify our plant data
Botanicaly separates catalog facts, deterministic care calculations, and AI suggestions so each can be checked and corrected on its own terms.
Pet-safety is sourced and locked
Cat and dog toxicity in the curated catalog is hand-checked against the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants list. That stored verdict takes priority over generated text, and the AI cannot change a toxic plant to safe. This is reference information, not veterinary advice.
AI has explicit boundaries
AI interprets photos and can draft an off-catalog care profile. Before a generated profile is saved, Botanicaly requires its genus to match the identification and bounds numeric care values to supported ranges. For curated plants, generated advice never overrides the locked pet-safety verdict.
