What are you seeing on your plant?
Start with the visible symptom, then check the soil and recent changes. Several problems can look alike. These guides help you choose the next observation before reaching for water, fertilizer or a treatment.

Know which plant you have?
A species-specific guide can help you separate its normal appearance from a change that needs attention.
Three things to notice before changing care
- Where the change starts. One older leaf, new growth, a whole side of the plant, or several plants at once?
- What the soil is doing. Look below the surface and check the outer pot for standing water.
- What changed recently. A move, stronger sunlight, repotting or a different watering routine can be useful context.
Take photos before removing the affected leaves. The three-photo guide explains which angles are useful for an app check-up or a conversation with a nursery.
When to get an in-person opinion: fast-spreading damage, a soft or collapsing stem, or a valuable plant with unclear symptoms. These guides and the app offer best-effort guidance, not a guaranteed diagnosis.
