Why Your Plants Are Dying (And How AI Can Help)

8/17/2025

Picture this: You walk into your living room and notice your favorite monstera’s leaves are turning yellow with brown spots. Your heart sinks. Is it overwatered? Underwatered? Some mysterious plant disease? You frantically Google “yellow leaves brown spots monstera” and get overwhelmed by conflicting advice, generic care guides, and forum posts from 2019.

Sound familiar? If you’re a plant parent, you’ve probably been there. We all have.

The Plant Parent Struggle is Real

After surveying over 2,000 plant owners, we discovered something that won’t surprise anyone with a green thumb (or those still working on it): 68% of plant parents have lost a plant they couldn’t figure out how to save.

The problems are consistent across experience levels:

“I Don’t Know What’s Wrong”

Plant symptoms can be confusing and overlapping. Yellow leaves could indicate overwatering, underwatering, nutrient deficiency, root rot, or a dozen other issues. Even experienced gardeners sometimes struggle to distinguish between similar-looking problems.

”The Internet is Overwhelming”

Search “plant disease identification” and you’ll find thousands of articles, forum posts, and care guides. But which advice applies to your specific plant and situation? How do you know if that Reddit comment from three years ago is actually reliable?

”Treatment Feels Like Guesswork”

Once you think you’ve identified the problem, treatment often involves trial and error. Change the watering schedule, move to different light, try various products – all while your plant continues to suffer.

”I Keep Making the Same Mistakes”

Without understanding the root cause of problems, plant parents often repeat the same care mistakes. Good intentions plus wrong information equals frustrated plant parents and unhealthy plants.

Why Traditional Solutions Fall Short

Plant identification apps can tell you what plant you have, but they don’t diagnose health problems or provide treatment plans.

General care guides offer broad advice that doesn’t account for your specific environment, plant condition, or the unique factors affecting your plant’s health.

Local experts are invaluable but not always accessible. Plant clinics and master gardeners aren’t available 24/7 when you notice a concerning symptom.

Trial and error wastes time, money, and most importantly, puts your plants at risk while you experiment with different solutions.
