This has probably been asked before but I know there's a few Shazam type apps for plants, and I wanted to know if any of them were worth it. Most of them require a subscription. I'm really stupid with plants, and gullible. I'll mostly be looking around cities anyways, since most of my walking is about London.

I tried Plantnet which seemed fine, but then moved on to Inaturalist because its records are used for scientific purposes in Finland, and which also recognises most things. Both are free

The grandmas in a local FB group didn't get further than "Solanaceae", so if any if you want to take a guess at what I've ended up growing with my mandarins, shoot. Maybe a metre tall, and the leaves are very soft, velvety. Location Helsinki, Finland.

You can buy a $10 heating pad to put under them that will keep the soil warmer, that should help.

Isn't warming the soil a bad idea in the winter when the amount of sunlight is limited? Or is that just for where sunlight is *extremely limited* like here in Finland
