Here are examples of questions our AI plant doctor can answer:
Question:
"How often should I water my Monstera in winter?"
AI Response:
In winter, Monsteras enter a dormant period and need less water. Check the soil every 10-14 days and water only when the top 2 inches are dry. With your local humidity at 45%, aim for watering about once every 2 weeks...
Question:
"My pothos has brown tips. What's wrong?"
AI Response:
Brown leaf tips on Pothos usually indicate low humidity, inconsistent watering, or mineral buildup from tap water. Try misting your plant, using filtered water, and ensuring the soil doesn't completely dry out...
Question:
"Is it too cold to leave my succulents outside tonight?"
AI Response:
Based on tonight's forecast of 38°F in your area, I'd recommend bringing your succulents inside. Most succulents are sensitive to temperatures below 40°F and can suffer frost damage...
Question:
"What's the best fertilizer for my tomato plants?"
AI Response:
Tomatoes are heavy feeders. Use a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) early in the season, then switch to a higher phosphorus formula (5-10-10) once flowering begins to encourage fruit production...

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AI plant doctor free?
Asking questions is free. Without an account you get 2 questions a day, and a free account raises that to 5 a day with no credit card. AI photo diagnosis is a Premium feature, and every new account starts with 30 days of Premium included.
Do I need an account to ask a plant question?
No. Go to the AI care assistant, describe your plant and your city, and you get an answer. An account only becomes useful when you want the advice to remember your plants and turn into reminders.
Can AI tell what is wrong with my plant from a photo?
Premium photo diagnosis reads the leaves, spots, and color in your photo and names the most likely cause: pests, disease, nutrient deficiency, overwatering, or environmental stress. Rescue Mode then turns that into a step-by-step recovery plan with check-ins until the plant is back to normal.
How accurate is AI plant diagnosis?
It is a well-informed first opinion, not a lab result. Diagnosis from a photo or a description narrows the likely causes and tells you what to change today, which is usually what a struggling plant needs. Symptoms overlap, so the answer explains its reasoning and you stay the one deciding.
Which AI answers my plant questions?
Anthropic Claude writes the advice, with your species, your growing conditions, and current weather for your city included in what it is asked. That is why the same question about the same plant can get a different answer in July than in January.
What can I ask the AI plant doctor?
Watering, light, pests, yellowing or dropping leaves, repotting, pruning, fertilizer, soil, propagation, and whether a plant is safe to keep outdoors where you live. It handles indoor and outdoor plants, including vegetables and garden beds.
