The photo shows the symptom, the context shows the cause

Yellow leaves can come from too much water, too little light or a nutrient deficiency. Dr. Flora cross-checks your photos with your answers and the plant's profile, then looks at whether your care matches what it needs.

Three photos and a plan

From symptom to follow-up, in three steps.

01

Photograph the problem

A close-up of a leaf, the stem, then the whole plant.

02

Answer a few questions

Feel the soil: it's the most reliable clue to tell overwatering from underwatering.

03

Follow the plan

Add the plan to your follow-up, check off the tasks, and check in seven days later.

A status, a cause, clear priorities

The result opens with the plant's health status, from "Healthy" to "Critical." Then come the symptoms spotted, the most likely cause and treatment plans, each with its priority: low, medium or urgent.

Seven days later: is it getting better?

A week after the diagnosis, the app asks how the plant is doing. You answer in one tap, add a follow-up photo, and the before and after sit side by side.

  • A day-7 check-inThe symptoms are improving, unchanged or worsening.
  • Before, afterThe first photo and the follow-up photo, next to each other.
  • Recovered, under observation or a new diagnosisDepending on your answer, the plant leaves the follow-up, stays under observation or goes back to Dr. Flora.
  • To follow up
  • Under observation

The follow-up check-in: "Is it getting better?"

What Dr. Flora doesn't do

A photo diagnosis helps you decide. It doesn't replace the eye of someone holding the plant.

66 symptoms, not all of them

Dr. Flora recognizes 66 symptoms. A rare problem or a blurry photo may go unanswered, and the app says so instead of making up a cause.

Confidence shown, even when it's low

Every result shows how reliable it is. When reliability is limited, Dr. Flora asks for sharper photos instead of jumping to a conclusion.

The soil has the final word

Before applying a plan, feel the soil, and check the roots if you repot. What you see outweighs what the photo suggests.

Questions about Dr. Flora

How many photos do I need?

One is enough, three help: a close-up of a leaf, the stem and the whole plant.

Is the diagnosis free?

Diagnosis from a photo is part of Floralens Pro.

What does Dr. Flora ask?

Where the plant sits, how much light it gets, how often you water it and what the soil feels like at the time of the diagnosis. You can also enter your city. All of these answers are optional.

What do the priorities mean?

An urgent priority means acting right away. A medium priority can be handled in the next few days, a low priority whenever you get the chance.

What is the care follow-up?

Where plants under treatment live. Each case shows its care tasks, their progress and the date of the next check-in. Plants move from "To follow up" to "Under observation," then to "Recovered."

What if the symptoms don't improve?

Answer "Not yet" at the check-in: the plant stays under observation, and you can run a new diagnosis with fresh photos.

Does Dr. Flora tell me if my plant is toxic to my cat?

Toxicity is on the species profile, broken down for dogs, cats and horses. If a pet eats some, call a vet or a poison control center.

Does the diagnosis replace a professional?

No. It's a decision aid built from your photos and your answers. For a valuable plant or a serious doubt, ask a nursery professional.
