Can the app tell me why my plant is dying?

Yes, the plant disease diagnosis feature can help you figure out why your plant is struggling. By taking a clear photo of the affected leaves, stems, or roots, the AI can analyze the symptoms and identify common problems like root rot, leaf spot diseases, nutrient deficiencies, or pest damage. It will then provide you with simple, practical steps to address the specific issue and help you nurse your plant back to health.

What kind of photos work best for identification?

For the most accurate results, take a clear, well-lit photo of the plant. Bright, natural daylight is ideal. Focus the camera on a single leaf, a flower, or the overall shape of the plant. Avoid blurry images or photos with too many different plants in the background. A close-up of a distinctive feature, like a leaf or flower, usually gives the best and fastest identification results.
