In brief · compiled from growspotapp.com

What is it?
GrowSpot checks whether a plant fits a particular location by estimating its light, warmth, humidity, and airflow.
Who is it for?
It is for people choosing plants for specific spots in their homes, such as windowsills, bookshelves, bathrooms, and dark corners.
How does it work?
Choose or photograph a plant, place your phone at the spot where it will live, and receive an estimate across four environmental dimensions. The browser tool asks which plant, where the spot is, and when direct sun reaches it; the app uses the phone’s camera and, on iPhone, a sheet of white paper over the camera.
What does it cost?
The browser spot checker is free and requires no sign-up or installation. The site also states “90 days free” for the app, but does not state the app’s ongoing price.

GrowSpot helps people check whether a plant suits a specific spot before buying it. Its browser-based spot checker and app assess light, warmth, humidity, and airflow where the plant will live, then provide an honest verdict. The web tool needs no sign-up or installation, and home photos are not requested.
