Use a clear photo showing the affected leaves and as much of the plant as possible.

Plant Doctor provides possible causes based on the photo and care information you provide. It is not a guaranteed diagnosis.

How the Plant Doctor Works
Upload a clear photo of your houseplant and tell us what you are seeing. The RadiantPlants Plant Doctor combines visible clues from the image with information about soil moisture, drainage, light, and recent changes to suggest possible causes.
Many houseplant symptoms can have more than one cause. When the evidence is limited, the assessment may include more than one possibility or ask you to check something else before taking action.
What Can the Plant Doctor Help With?
The tool can help investigate common houseplant symptoms such as yellow leaves, brown spots, brown tips, drooping or wilting, white spots or coatings, visible pests, leaf damage, and other changes.
Because similar symptoms can come from different causes, the Plant Doctor does not rely on the photo alone. Your care information helps narrow the possibilities and identify useful next checks.
Why We Ask About Your Plant’s Care
A yellow leaf does not automatically mean overwatering, and a brown spot does not automatically mean disease. Soil moisture, drainage, light exposure, and recent changes can provide important context for interpreting what is visible in a photo.
That is why the Plant Doctor asks a few short questions before generating an assessment. The goal is to give you a more useful starting point instead of treating one visual symptom as proof of a single cause.
Evidence-Based Plant Care Guidance
RadiantPlants uses the AI assessment as a starting point, then connects relevant results with existing RadiantPlants plant-care guides for deeper explanations and practical care information.
Our approach prioritizes reliable horticultural information and avoids presenting a single symptom as a guaranteed diagnosis. When more evidence is needed, the result may recommend checking roots, stems, leaf undersides, pests, moisture, or growing conditions before taking action.
Important Limitations
Plant Doctor provides possible causes based on the photo and care information you provide. It is not a guaranteed diagnosis. Some plant problems require closer inspection or additional information that may not be visible in a single image.
If a plant is severely declining, has extensive root or stem damage, or you are unsure how to proceed, use the assessment as a guide for what to inspect next rather than as proof of one specific problem.
Plant Doctor FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI diagnose a plant from a photo?
A photo can provide useful visual clues, but it may not show everything needed to determine the cause of a plant problem. RadiantPlants Plant Doctor combines the image with details about moisture, drainage, light, symptoms, and recent changes to suggest possible causes and useful next checks.
Why does the Plant Doctor ask about soil moisture and light?
Different problems can produce similar-looking symptoms. Information about the potting mix, drainage, and light helps distinguish between possibilities that may look alike in a photo.
Can the Plant Doctor identify my houseplant?
It may suggest a plant identification when the photo provides enough visible detail. Identification confidence can vary, so uncertain results should be treated as a starting point rather than a guaranteed species identification.
What kind of plant photo should I upload?
Use a clear, well-lit image showing the affected leaves and as much of the plant as possible. Avoid heavy filters, extreme close-ups that hide the rest of the plant, and photos that contain people or sensitive personal information.
Does the Plant Doctor replace a full plant-care guide?
No. The tool is designed to help narrow possible causes and point you toward useful next steps. When relevant, the result links to existing RadiantPlants guides for more detailed plant care information.
