Photo Plant Doctor with Weekly Care Plan

Snap a photo, know what’s wrong, and get a simple care plan for this week.

Inspiration: Quality Service

In traditional gardening services, professionals visit to identify plant species, diagnose pests or disease, check light and soil conditions, and prescribe seasonal watering, pruning, and feeding routines.

Why Ordinary People Can't Access It

Ordinary plant owners often kill plants because they cannot tell what is wrong: expert visits are costly and require booking, skilled local gardeners are scarce, balcony and indoor conditions vary widely, and online advice is contradictory—so people miss the best rescue window.

AI-Powered Equalizer

The user photographs leaves, soil, and the whole plant; computer vision identifies the species and likely disease or pests, then combines local season, indoor light, and watering history to generate a one-page actionable care plan for the week, with reminders to follow through.

Key Features

  • Photo recognition of plant type plus yellowing, root rot, and pest signs
  • Watering and feeding amounts adjusted to city season and placement
  • Three-step rescue actions: pause watering, isolate, repot or treat
  • Turns the prescription into a 7-day checklist with reminders
  • Tracks photo changes over time to show whether the plant is improving

Target Users

Urban renters, beginner balcony gardeners, office plant caretakers, and houseplant or succulent lovers

Business Model

Three free diagnoses per day; subscription unlocks seasonal plans and plant history; revenue share from recommended soil, treatments, and plant food.
