How to identify a weed

Look at four things: leaf shape (broad vs. grass-like), leaf arrangement (opposite, alternate, or in a rosette), flowers (color and form), and growth habit (upright, vining, or low mat). Photograph the weed against bare soil so the AI can isolate it, and include a flower if one is present. Our identifier also flags weeds that are toxic to people or pets — important before you pull a plant like poison ivy by hand.
