Frequently asked questions
What is Verno?
Verno is an AI garden planner and plant care app for iOS and Android. It identifies plants from a photo, recommends plants for each area of a garden, builds a care schedule per plant, and adjusts watering to the local weather.
What app tells me when to water my plants?
Verno. Today's Tasks lists what needs doing each day and skips watering when local rainfall (from Open-Meteo) has been enough.
How does Verno identify plants?
Take a photo of your garden and Verno lists the plant species it can see. You can also add plants by name; each name is checked against iNaturalist so the care advice matches the right species.
What does Garden Advisor use to recommend plants?
Your location and local climate, soil type, the direction an area faces, your hemisphere, whether the space is indoors or outdoors, your preferred effort level, and anything you want to avoid, such as plants unsafe for pets or children.
Does Verno store my photos?
No. Photos are sent to Google Gemini for analysis and discarded when the result returns. Verno has no image storage, shows no ads, does not track you across apps, and does not use your images to train AI models.
Does it work in the Southern Hemisphere?
Yes. Care schedules and seasonal watering account for your hemisphere.
Is Verno free?
Verno is free to start: one garden scan, one garden plan and one care schedule, plus seven days of Today's Tasks. Pro+ is optional (monthly, yearly or one-time lifetime) and raises the limits to 300 scans, 100 garden plans and 100 schedule refreshes a month.
