Plant diagnosis
Why are your plant's leaves turning yellow?
Yellow leaves have a dozen look-alike causes: overwatering, light, nutrients, pests. Snap one photo and PlantMD tells you which one it is, and exactly what to do today.
Yellowing leaves are the single most common sign that a plant is unhappy, and also the most confusing. The same yellow leaf can point to overwatering, underwatering, too little light, a nutrient shortage, or pests. Treat it for the wrong cause and you can make things worse.
Instead of guessing or sifting through conflicting advice online, PlantMD looks at your actual plant. Take a photo and you'll get a specific diagnosis, a confidence rating so you know how firmly to act, and a clear treatment plan you can start the same day.

Frequently asked questions
Should I cut off yellow leaves?+
Usually yes. A fully yellow leaf won't turn green again, and removing it lets the plant focus its energy on healthy growth. But the more important step is fixing the underlying cause so new leaves don't yellow too. PlantMD identifies that cause from a photo.
Is yellowing always from overwatering?+
No. Overwatering is common, but yellow leaves can also come from underwatering, low light, nutrient deficiencies, or pests. Because the treatments are opposite, getting the cause right matters. That's exactly what PlantMD is built to do.
How fast will my plant recover?+
It depends on the cause and how early you catch it. Once the underlying issue is corrected, most plants stabilize within a couple of weeks. PlantMD gives you a step-by-step plan and lets you track progress over time.

What people say after their plant pulls through.
I panicked when I spotted blight on my monstera, I didn't want to lose it. PlantMD's treatment plan was so clear that I actually saved it before the infection could spread.
I'm not great with apps but this one is simple. Took a picture, got an answer, my orchid is recovering.
Spent years guessing. This told me it was root rot with high confidence and I caught it in time.
I use it on every new cutting. It's like having a knowledgeable friend on call.
The treatment steps are clear and gentle. No panic, just what to do next.
