Root Rot Diagnosis
Plant Doctor helps compare root rot, overwatering, drainage stress, yellow leaves, soft stems, sour soil, and root symptoms before repotting or watering again.
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
- soggy soil
- soft stems
- yellow leaves
- leaf drop
- sour smell
- black roots
Treatment plan example
Example plan: pause watering, check drainage, inspect the stem base and visible roots, remove rotted material when needed, repot only when the evidence supports it.
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.
