Problem

When people take on a houseplant, the hard part is rarely watering itself. It is the missing context: a photo may suggest a species, but the user still does not know whether their balcony provides enough light, whether yellowing leaves come from drought, overwatering, fertilizer, or disease, and whether leggy growth means they should adjust light first. This is especially common when regional climate, balcony orientation, and indoor humidity differ from generic care tips.

How It Works

The skill turns plant care into practical steps:
- Plant identification: infer likely species from image cues; when uncertain, list candidates and distinguishing features.
- Feasibility check: assess light, temperature, humidity, and airflow, then suggest fixes such as moving the plant, adding supplemental light, or using humidification.
- Care plan: provide placement, watering cadence, soil mix, and fertilizer guidance for sun-loving, medium-light, and shade-tolerant plants.
- Diagnosis: map symptoms like yellow leaves, wilting, spotting, leggy growth, and missing blooms to probable causes and corrective actions.

Boundaries

It is best used as a day-to-day plant troubleshooting aid, not a professional phytopathology system. For toxic species, children and pets, or invasive plants, verify official sources first. Severe disease, pests, or root rot may still require on-site assessment and professional gardening help.
