Fungus Gnat Treatment App
Plant Doctor helps users confirm fungus gnat patterns, inspect soil moisture and larvae risk, break the adult and larvae cycle, and reduce recurrence with a practical treatment plan.
How it works
- Photograph the whole plant, the worst symptoms, leaf undersides, stems, soil, and drainage.
- Add care context such as watering, light, repotting, fertilizer, pests, and recent changes.
- Review likely causes, confidence scores, urgency, and practical treatment steps in the iPhone app.
Symptoms covered
- small black flies
- wet soil
- larvae risk
- yellow traps
- seedling stress
- recurring infestations
Treatment plan example
Example plan: use sticky traps for adults, reduce wet soil conditions, time BTI or other label-safe controls for larvae, and recheck neighboring pots.
Trust and safety notes
Plant symptoms can overlap. Plant Doctor uses confidence-scored diagnosis to support decisions, but you should follow product labels, isolate suspected pest cases, and seek expert help for rare, valuable, edible, or quickly declining plants.
Frequently asked questions
Can one photo diagnose every plant problem?
No. Use several photos and care history so the app can compare disease, pests, watering, nutrient, and light problems.
What should I do if confidence is low?
Take clearer photos, add more context, monitor the plant, and ask an expert when symptoms spread quickly or treatment risk is high.
