Describe your plant's symptoms — leaf color, texture, wilting pattern, and growth changes — and receive a probable diagnosis with a targeted treatment protocol.
Used by collectors, landscape professionals, and hobbyists managing plants at scale.
Select the symptoms that best match your plant's current condition.
The diagnostic engine covers the most frequent causes of houseplant decline.
The most common houseplant error. Identified by yellowing, soft stems, and soggy soil. Recovery requires immediate drainage improvement.
A fungal consequence of sustained overwatering. Early detection via mushy stem base and foul-smelling soil is critical for saving the plant.
Causes leggy growth, pale leaves, and slow development. Moving the plant to a brighter spot resolves symptoms within 2–3 weeks.
Lower leaf yellowing while upper leaves remain green often indicates nitrogen deficiency. A balanced liquid fertilizer addresses most cases.
Identified by crispy leaf edges, dry compact soil, and drooping. Deep, thorough watering restores turgor within 12–24 hours for most species.
Brown or black spots with yellow halos indicate fungal infection. Remove affected leaves and improve air circulation around the plant.
Common questions about using the plant diagnostic tool.
Symptom-based diagnosis is highly effective for the most common conditions. Complex pest infestations or rare pathogens may require physical inspection. This tool covers the 24 most frequently observed patterns.
Enter the most severe or recently developed symptom first. If multiple conditions are equally prominent, run the diagnostic twice with different inputs and compare the recommended actions.
Yes. Both can cause wilting and yellowing. The key differentiator is soil condition: soggy soil points to overwatering; bone-dry soil indicates underwatering. The tool uses soil condition as a primary discriminator.
Repot immediately. Remove all affected roots (they appear brown and mushy), dust with cinnamon or sulphur powder as a natural fungicide, then replant in fresh, well-draining medium.
