Plant Rescue

Diagnose and rescue your struggling plants

Diagnose struggling plants and get step-by-step rescue plans. Upload a photo or describe symptoms to identify species, analyze problems (yellowing, wilting, spots), and receive prioritized action plans with recovery timelines.

Overview

Your plant is dying and you don't know why. This tool uses AI image analysis to identify your plant species, diagnose problems (overwatering, pests, nutrient deficiency), and provide a prioritized rescue plan. Upload a photo of the affected leaves/stems or describe symptoms, and get expert advice within seconds.

How to use it

1. Upload a clear photo of your plant (focus on affected areas) OR describe symptoms
2. Add environmental details: light level, watering frequency, location
3. Optional: How long you've had the plant
4. Get instant diagnosis with severity rating
5. Follow prioritized action plan (Priority 1 = do immediately)

Example

Scenario: Your fiddle leaf fig has yellowing lower leaves with brown spots. You water it every 3 days and it's in a bright corner indoors.

What you do: Upload photo of affected leaves. Select 'Partial shade' for light, 'Every few days' for watering, 'Indoor' for location.

Result: Diagnosis: CONCERNING - Overwatering with early root rot. Primary problem: Too-frequent watering for indoor conditions. Action Plan: Priority 1 (NOW): Stop watering for 7-10 days, check soil moisture before next watering. Priority 2 (Today): Move to brighter location with more air circulation. Priority 3 (This week): Check drainage - pot should have holes, soil should dry between waterings. Environmental adjustments: Water: Only when top 2 inches of soil are dry (test with finger). Light: Move closer to window for 4-6 hours indirect sun. Recovery timeline: 3-4 weeks if root rot hasn't spread. Is saveable: Yes, if acted on quickly.

Tips

• Take photos in good lighting - show both the whole plant and close-ups of problem areas
• Be honest about watering frequency - overwatering is the #1 killer
• Follow the priority order - Priority 1 actions are urgent
• The tool identifies common issues: overwatering, underwatering, light problems, pests, disease
• If diagnosis says 'critical', act within 24 hours
• Prevention tips help avoid the same problem recurring

Common pitfalls

• Photos need to be clear - blurry images make diagnosis difficult
• Don't skip environmental questions - they're crucial for accurate diagnosis
• If plant is already dead (crispy, black, mushy throughout), may be too late
• Tool gives general advice - for rare plants or persistent issues, consult a local nursery
• Some problems take weeks to show improvement - be patient with recovery timeline
