What Sprignote can show—and what it cannot prove.

This is the public boundary for identification results, product claims, care guidance, and editorial sources.

One to five selected photos

A Sprignote scan accepts one to five JPEG or PNG photos of a plant. The selected images and minimum request information are sent to Sprignote’s service and a plant-recognition provider. The rest of the plant journal is not sent with the scan.

Up to five ranked candidates

The recognition service returns candidate species and confidence information. Sprignote presents a shortlist so you can compare visible characteristics and choose what to save. The ranking can be wrong, and a high score is not independent botanical verification.

The saved match is editable

A later flower, fruit, or clearer photo may contradict an earlier choice. Past scans remain available so you can revisit candidates and correct the plant record. Sprignote does not treat the first saved result as immutable truth.

No food, toxicity, medical, or diagnostic verdicts

Identification and care information is informational. Confirm with a qualified local expert before eating a plant, handling a potentially toxic species, exposing a child or animal, reporting a regulated species, or making a medical, veterinary, agricultural, or treatment decision.

Claims are checked against production behavior

Website claims are verified against the app and service code. Free currently includes three identifications per calendar month and a five-plant garden. Premium removes the five-plant gate and raises identification access to 1,000 per calendar month. Store availability is not claimed until a public listing is verified.

Sources, dates, and corrections

Plant-care guides prefer university extension services, botanic institutions, scientific projects, and other first-party horticultural sources. Each guide displays a publication or review date and links its sources. Product documentation is reviewed against Sprignote’s implementation. Corrections can be sent to support@sprignote.com.
