Frequent Plant Problems

Root Rot

Caused by consistently wet soil with poor drainage. Signs include yellow leaves, soft stems, and foul-smelling roots. Repot immediately into dry mix.

Nutrient Deficiency

Pale or yellow newer leaves often indicate nitrogen deficiency. Older yellow leaves point to mobile nutrient loss. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser.

Spider Mite Infestation

Fine webbing and pale stippling on leaves are the primary indicators. Isolate the plant and treat with neem oil solution for three consecutive weeks.

Underwatering

Crispy brown edges and soil pulling away from pot sides are clear signals. Water deeply until it runs from drainage holes.

Low Humidity Stress

Tropical plants require 50–70% humidity. Brown leaf tips in otherwise healthy plants indicate air that is too dry. Group plants or use a humidity tray.

Scale Insects

Brown bumps along stems and sticky honeydew residue indicate scale. Remove manually with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab and treat with horticultural oil.

Diagnostic Questions Answered

How does the diagnostic algorithm work?

The tool maps symptom combinations to a database of common plant disorders, weighted by plant type and environmental factors.

Can I trust the confidence score?

The score reflects how closely your inputs match a known pattern. Scores above 70% are reliable; below 50% warrants consulting a local specialist.

What if my plant has multiple problems?

Enter the most visually prominent symptom first. Multiple concurrent issues are common; address the highest-urgency diagnosis before moving to secondary concerns.

Does plant age affect the diagnosis?

Yes. Young plants are more susceptible to overwatering; mature specimens more often face nutrient deficiencies or pest pressure.
