#1 Aim and frame
When using your phone's camera to identify a plant, ensure that the plant is placed in the center of the frame. Avoid taking blurry, overexposed, or underexposed shots as they can hinder accurate identification. Clear, well-lit images will provide better results.![](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplants-admin.emdemapps.com%2Fimages%2Fplants%2Fc2ec8b1a06613e97e049077e36564359.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
#2 Focus on recognizable parts
If the plant you want to identify is too large to capture entirely, focus on capturing the most distinctive and recognizable parts. This could be the leaves, flowers, bark, or any other unique features that can help in the identification process.![](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplants-admin.emdemapps.com%2Fimages%2Fplants%2Fff8d29f9a43677d69c221bfdfae3f68f.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
#3 Maintain focus and distance
To achieve more accurate identification results, try to keep the plant parts in focus and avoid taking pictures from extremely close distances. Maintaining an optimal distance allows the camera to capture more details and helps prevent distortion or blurriness.![](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplants-admin.emdemapps.com%2Fimages%2Fplants%2Fc9682c84efb4dfe1887875d62b69905f.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
#4 Capture flowers
If your plant has flowers, be sure to take a picture of them too. Flowers often contain critical characteristics that aid in plant identification. Pay attention to the color, shape, and arrangement of the petals, as these details can provide valuable clues.![](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplants-admin.emdemapps.com%2Fimages%2Fplants%2Fd16a84f29d6446c7e29d301de64d478f.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
#5 Avoid distractions in the frame
While attempting to identify a plant, ensure that no other plants or unnecessary objects are in the frame. Extra foliage or unrelated elements may lead to confusion and potentially mislead the identification process. By focusing solely on the target plant, you increase the accuracy of the results.![](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplants-admin.emdemapps.com%2Fimages%2Fplants%2Fa663eaa0e2f8cfde7306b1915c31bc80.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
