How to Use Verdy's AI Plant Doctor for Common Issues

Getting Started with AI Plant Doctor

The AI Plant Doctor feature is built into your Verdy app and ready to use whenever you need it. Simply navigate to any plant in your garden and tap the 'AI Doctor' icon to begin.

For best results, take clear, well-lit photos of the affected area. Multiple angles can help the AI better understand the problem.

Common Issues the AI Can Identify

Verdy's AI Plant Doctor is trained to recognize dozens of common plant problems. Here are some of the most frequently diagnosed issues:

• Leaf yellowing and chlorosis - often caused by nutrient deficiencies
• Pest infestations - including aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies
• Fungal diseases - such as powdery mildew and blight
• Watering problems - both overwatering and underwatering symptoms
• Nutrient deficiencies - identifying which nutrients your plants need

Understanding AI Recommendations

Once the AI analyzes your photo, you'll receive a detailed diagnosis along with treatment recommendations. These suggestions are tailored to your specific situation and plant type.

The AI considers factors like your plant's growth stage, local climate, and the severity of the issue when providing recommendations. You'll also get preventive tips to avoid similar problems in the future.

Tips for Best Results

To get the most accurate diagnosis from the AI Plant Doctor, follow these best practices:

• Take photos in natural daylight for accurate color representation
• Focus on the affected area while including some healthy plant tissue for comparison
