Plant Doctor App

A mobile app that diagnoses plant diseases via real-time scans and provides comprehensive care tracking — designed for plant owners who struggle with species-specific care.

Problem

Many plant owners struggle with keeping their plants alive due to a lack of awareness of specific care requirements for different species or misdiagnosed issues — leading to frustration, wasted time, and low satisfaction.

Goal

Create a solution to reduce diagnosis time and improve user adherence to a plant care schedule through intelligent guidance and reminders.

  • The average plant parent has killed seven indoor plants.
  • Overwatering, underwatering, neglect, and over-fertilizing are the top four causes of plant death.
  • One-third of new plant owners struggle specifically with watering frequency.
