Open Plantbook


Help me to shape future of Open Plantbook by filling out a road map survey.


This is FREE service and it will always be free! Anyone can use information from the database for any purpose without permission.

It is intended to be community sourced and I see it as a GitHub for plant care recipes.

The purpose is to help the community with collecting and storing structured information about plants care and potentially plants in general.

The service is live so you can login https://open.plantbook.io, get API credentials and start using that. BTW, there is a social Single SignOn so you don’t even have to register.

The documentation is within Web UI and in GitHub.

Discord chat link if you have suggestions, questions or need support.

For the latest updates please see release notes.

Roadmap:

  • Allow to search users’ plant (user-plants) via API
  • Ability to add and see multiple common names of the plants including in different national languages
  • Ability to specify alternative thresholds for different seasons of the year (summer, winter, etc.)
  • Expert advice service on plants health
  • Plant and decease detection from images

Please take a look. Let me know what is working well and what is not working at all. Any thoughts and feedback will be much appreciated. I’m open to feature requests and your ideas!
