The Plantry App — Mr. Phileas, In Your Pocket

Mr. Phileas, In Your Pocket

A plant companion app, in the making

In development · Coming soon


We're building a little greenhouse you can carry with you — with Mr. Phileas Plant himself behind the counter. Point your camera at a leaf and he'll tell you what it is. Ask him why yours is turning yellow. Save your plants, learn their proper care, and collect a few stamps along the way.

It isn't finished yet — but it's real, it's growing, and it's coming. Here's a first look at what's taking root.

A note from Mr. Phileas Plant —

"You may recall I have been learning to travel in coat pockets. This is what I meant. The workshop is busy, the trays are full, and I am assured it will be ready when it is ready — not a day before. I would rather arrive correct than arrive early."

— P.P.

What It Does

Everything a curious grower needs, in one pocket

Identifying a plant with the camera — Rooted, Cutting, and Wild modes

Point & identify

Aim your camera at a single healthy leaf and let Mr. Phileas study it. Three modes — Rooted, Cutting, or Wild — tune the read to what's in front of you, with a calibrated second-opinion check for the tricky ones.

Chatting with Mr. Phileas Plant about plant care

A botanist in your pocket

Yellow leaves? Leggy growth? A pest you can't name? Ask him anything — or show him a photo and he'll take a look. Patient, honest, and quick to admit when he isn't fully certain.

The Explorer's Passport, stamped by Winston

Identify a plant more than 40 miles from home and Winston stamps your passport. A quiet map of where you've botanised — and a record of where your own collection hails from, region by region.

Honest by default

Market value stays off unless you ask for it. The app leads with care, not commerce — always.

Be First in the Greenhouse

There's no launch date yet — we'd rather get it right than get it out. Join The Plantry Dispatch and you'll be the first to know when it lands, and the first offered a place inside.
