Plant Pest Identifier App
Use Plant Doctor to compare visible pest clues such as webbing, sticky residue, flying gnats, cottony clusters, black dots, and leaf speckling before choosing a treatment.
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
- fungus gnats
- spider mites
- thrips
- scale
- mealybugs
- sticky residue
Treatment plan example
Example plan: isolate the plant, inspect leaf undersides and soil, use traps or close-up photos to confirm the pest pattern, then choose a plant-safe control method.
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.
