Free tools that help you understand what your plants need—at every stage of growth.
Truleaf was created to solve a simple problem: growing plants shouldn't require expensive consultants or confusing spreadsheets. Whether you're growing tomatoes in your backyard, managing a commercial greenhouse, or running a hydroponic operation, you deserve access to accurate, science-backed growing information.
We combine agricultural research, community knowledge, and modern technology to create tools that work for growers of all experience levels. Our database is built on peer-reviewed research, and we continuously update our information as new studies are published.
Every plant profile and nutrient recommendation is based on agricultural research and scientific data. We cite our sources and continuously update our database.
Core tools are free forever. We believe everyone should have access to quality growing information, regardless of budget.
Our community of growers contributes recipes, tips, and feedback that makes Truleaf better for everyone.
We promote efficient growing practices that reduce waste, optimize resources, and help you grow more with less.
The plant data in Truleaf is compiled from multiple authoritative sources:
Each plant profile undergoes validation to ensure accuracy. When scientific consensus varies, we provide ranges rather than single values, and note where conditions may affect results.
Truleaf believes in transparency. Our plant database methodology is documented, and we welcome contributions from the agricultural community. If you find an error or have updated research to share, we want to hear from you.
Have questions, feedback, or want to contribute? We'd love to hear from you.
