Leaf Doctor

Snap a leaf photo, get a gardener's diagnosis and care reminders

Inspiration: Quality Service

In traditional gardening services, professionals visit homes to inspect plant conditions, diagnose pests or nutrient issues, and provide tailored seasonal maintenance plans.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

On-site professional diagnosis is costly and follows fixed schedules. Most people lack plant pathology knowledge and don't know what to do when leaves turn yellow or roots rot. Problems are often noticed too late, and the plant dies before any help arrives.

AI-Powered Equalizer

Users snap a photo of a leaf or the whole plant. Computer vision identifies the species and abnormalities (underwatering, poor light, pests, nutrient deficiency), generates an actionable care plan, and pushes watering, feeding, and repotting reminders while tracking recovery progress.

Key Features

  • Photo auto-identifies plant species and condition
  • Detects 20+ common issues like yellowing, spots, and pests
  • Generates targeted watering, light, and feeding advice
  • Auto-pushes care reminders so you never forget to water
  • Care journal tracks every diagnosis and recovery progress

Target Users

Urban young plant owners, balcony gardeners, office plant caretakers

Business Model

Free basic diagnosis for user acquisition + premium care plans and expert consultation subscription + referral commissions from plant e-commerce and nurseries
