Photo tips for plant identification
A plant identifier works best when the photo shows the features that separate one species from another. Wipe dust from leaves when possible, avoid heavy shadows, and keep the camera steady.
- Photograph a healthy, mature leaf from above.
- Include flowers, fruit, thorns, or unusual stems when present.
- Use a simple background so the plant remains easy to see.
- Take an additional photo of the whole plant when the shape is important.
