Can’t decide which plant will best fit into that dark corner of your living room? Are the tips of the leaves on your favorite plant turning brown? What are those swarms of bugs flying around the plants in your office? How can you quickly solve these problems? If you buy indoor plants you will save more than the $4.99 purchase price by choosing the right plants and taking care of them correctly.

Houseplant 411’s SEARCH feature allows you to enter the specific lighting and decorating conditions in your own home or office. With a list of 70 plants, and additional plants requested by users coming in future free upgrades, you’re sure to find one that meets your needs! Since office plants thrive on neglect there is a search category just for them. There’s even a category for plants that NASA has certified to clean the air.

CAN’T IDENTIFY YOUR PLANT IN OUR DATABASE? CAN'T DECIDE WHY YOUR PLANT LOOKS DROOPY? Snap a picture of your plant with your iPhone and use our “ASK JUDY” feature to email us the photo with your question. No charge for this additional support!

Each plant description contains an enlargeable picture and includes information on care, diagnosing problems, and propagation.

Links are provided from the plant screens to a reference section where plant pests and diseases are clearly pictured and explained. No Internet connection required!

A professional plantscaper and interior plant designer with 35 years experience developed this application. Since no two plants are alike we do not offer generic solutions to plant problems. The specific needs of each plant are addressed.

Houseplant 411 features include:
• Browse houseplants in alphabetical order
• Get personalized free advice from an expert using the “ASK JUDY” feature
• Search for a plant based on lighting, ease of care, usage, and suitability for offices
• Choose indoor plants that flower, clean the air, or are used for special occasions
• Create unique lists of your favorite indoor plants for future reference.
• Read numerous articles with pictures of plant pests and diseases
• Learn tips and tricks for plant care with the push of a few buttons

We appreciate our reviewer’s criticisms, comments, and suggestions. Future upgrades will include additional plants recommended by our users, interactive worldwide plant-lover forums, expanded use of the Ask Judy feature, and push notification services.
