What a diagnosis shows
- Health score from 0 to 100, and whether the plant looks healthy or unwell.
- The likely problem, for example fungal leaf spot linked to overwatering, with how serious and how urgent it is.
- What we see, the cause and how to fix it, step by step.
- How to stop it coming back.
Common problems and what they usually mean
- Yellow lower leaves
- Often overwatering or a pot that doesn't drain. It can also be old leaves dying off normally.
- Brown, crispy leaf edges
- Often underwatering, dry air or a build-up of fertilizer salts.
- Brown or black spots with yellow rings
- Often fungal or bacterial leaf spot, which spreads when leaves stay wet and air can't move.
- Wilting although the soil is wet
- Can be root rot: the roots turn brown, soft and smell sour.
- Pale, bleached patches on the sunny side
- Sunburn, usually after a plant moves into strong light too quickly.
- Fine webbing and speckled leaves
- Spider mites, which like dry indoor air. Check under the leaves.
- Sticky leaves or white cottony clumps
- Mealybugs or scale insects.
- Long, pale stems leaning to the window
- Not enough light.
How to get a useful diagnosis
- Photograph the affected leaves up close, then the whole plant.
- Check the undersides of the leaves: many pests hide there.
- Use daylight and keep the photo sharp.

Questions
Why are my plant's leaves turning yellow?
Indoors the most common cause is overwatering, especially when the soil stays wet and the yellowing starts on the lower leaves. Underwatering, too little light, missing nutrients and old leaves dying off normally can do it too. A photo diagnosis narrows it down for your plant.
Can an app diagnose plant diseases?
PlantClinic compares your photo with what leaf spot, rot, pests, sunburn and watering problems look like, then explains the most likely cause and the fix. Results come from AI and can be wrong. Treat them as general information, not professional advice, and never eat, forage or use a plant as medicine based on an app.
How do I know if my plant has root rot?
Look for wilting even though the soil is wet, yellow leaves, a sour smell, and dark, soft roots when you slide the plant out of its pot. Healthy roots are firm and white or light tan. Cut off the rotten roots, repot into fresh, well-draining mix and water less often.
What are the brown spots on my plant's leaves?
Brown spots with yellow rings are often fungal or bacterial leaf spot, which spreads when leaves stay wet. Crispy brown edges point more to dry air, underwatering or too much fertilizer. Remove the worst leaves, water at the soil instead of over the leaves, and give the plant more air.
