Plant Trouble

How a check works

1. Take the photos.

   Take three photos: the whole plant; a flower, fruit, or clear leaf; and a close-up of the problem. Use a flower if present, otherwise fruit, otherwise a clear leaf that keeps its normal shape. A fourth photo from another angle is optional. You also choose where the plant is growing: Australia, United States, or Other.

2. Confirm the plant name.

   Choose “Not sure” if you cannot confirm the name. A check needs a confirmed plant before it can return steps. Choosing “Not sure” ends the check with no steps.

3. Get plain next steps.

   You see the issue in plain words, such as yellowing or a powdery coating, a quick check to look for, three plain steps, and when to check the plant again. You can share the plan as plain text.

   Not a diagnosis.

Who it is for

People with a sick household plant or something grown to eat at home, such as a tomato, herb, carrot, or potato. It is not a tool for farmers.

What it does not do

Not a diagnosis. No accounts or subscription. Photos are sent to third-party AI services only for the check; provider retention is being verified before launch.

Questions

Is it a diagnosis?

No. It returns plain next steps only. Not a diagnosis. General guidance only. Always follow product labels.

Do I need an account?

No. There are no accounts.

Are photos kept?

Photos are used only for the check. The app is designed to delete its temporary copies afterwards; on-device deletion and provider retention are being verified before launch. Photos are sent to third-party AI services only to run the check.

Is it free?

Free to check. No subscription. Two video ads play during the check: one to identify the issue and one to create your plan.

Where can I get it?

Plant Trouble is not in the app stores yet. It is coming to the App Store and Google Play.
