🌱 WITCH TIP 🌱
(this is one post in a mini-series about witchy apps i use)
My personal favorite app for identifying plants, learning info about them, and even helping me manage my garden is PictureThis! It’s especially a good option for witches, because listen here…
It often includes in the info of the plant its “symbolism” (meaning, its most common correspondences). It’s usually towards the end of its notes, so I always scroll to the bottom and up a bit real quick if I wanna check what this random plant I’ve come across could be used for in spells.
Reasons I like this app:
The symbolism feature, as I’ve already discussed ^
The variety of information it provides on the plant, like its history, most of its names, scientific classifications, how its seen or used in certain cultures, and other facts
All the info on how to care for it, when to plant or harvest it, etc.
Its diagnosing feature so if my plant is sick or something it can tell me where the problem is, WHAT the problem is, and tips to fix it
I love how sometimes it includes a poem or something on the plant
It’s pretty accurate ime as a plant identifier! Of course, anything like this can never be perfect, but I’ve has great results!
I’m a big fan of widgets, and I really appreciate their widget for watering reminders for each individual plant I have lol
There are a lot more features in this app that I’ve never explored personally, even though I’ve had this app for years lol. I’ve just never felt the need to—but, it might be perfect for you if you want to connect more with the people and plants near you!
Most of their features are free, and I only use free apps, so everything I’ve described is free <3
I guess the biggest downside would be that identification is never perfect? And that there are a few things I’d like to have that you have to pay for? But honestly it’s pretty great!
This is the app! Again, I have an iphone, so I’m certain that its on iphones, but idk about other devices.
I hope this post helps someone out!!
