Photograph your plant
Capture or pick one bright, focused photo of the plant or the affected area. Only the photo you choose is ever sent for diagnosis.
The plant doctor app that reads your plant from a photo.
Botanica is an AI plant doctor and plant disease identifier for iPhone. Photograph a plant to get an AI species identification and health check, a likely condition with severity and confidence, and a clear step-by-step cure plan — then watch it recover over time. Your plants, photos, and history stay on your device; the only content that ever leaves it is the single photo you choose to diagnose.
- Photo to diagnosis
- One clear photo returns a species ID, a health check, a likely condition, and a severity and confidence level.
- Local-first privacy
- Plants, diagnoses, cure plans, and photos are stored on your device — no account, no cloud journal.
- Careful guidance
- Diagnoses are educational plant-care suggestions, not a guarantee of a plant's health.

How the plant doctor works
Botanica turns a single photo into a diagnosis and a plan. Three steps take you from "something's wrong" to "here's what to do."

Work through ordered, checkable cure steps and care tips, then recheck on the suggested day and save the result to the plant's history.
A plant disease identifier and a recovery tracker.
Most plant apps stop at naming what you have. Botanica keeps the whole job in one place: identify what you own, spot what's wrong, follow a fix, and check whether it worked.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about diagnosing plants, reading symptoms, and how Botanica handles your data.
What is a plant doctor app and how does Botanica work?
A plant doctor app diagnoses a plant from a photo. With Botanica you photograph a plant and get an AI species identification and health check, a likely condition with a severity and confidence level, and a step-by-step cure plan to follow. Diagnoses are educational plant-care guidance, not a guarantee of a plant's health. Learn more
How do I diagnose a sick houseplant?
Work from the evidence: look at the leaves, stems, soil, and roots, note the pattern and where it started, and compare it against the plant's light and watering. Botanica does this from one photo, returning a likely condition, severity, and a cure plan to follow and recheck. Learn more
Why are my plant's leaves turning yellow?
Yellow leaves most often mean a watering problem, but light, nutrients, pests, and normal aging all cause it too — the pattern tells you which. Botanica reads the pattern from a photo and suggests the most likely cause with a cure plan, as educational guidance rather than a guarantee. Learn more
Is my plant overwatered or underwatered?
Both can cause wilting, so check the soil and the feel of the leaves: soggy soil with soft, yellowing leaves points to overwatering, while dry soil with crispy, curling leaves points to underwatering. Botanica weighs these signs from a photo and suggests a corrective care plan. Learn more
Can Botanica identify a plant disease from a photo?
Yes. Botanica is an AI plant disease identifier: it analyzes one photo and returns a likely condition, severity, and confidence, plus a cure plan. Photo quality matters, and low-confidence results should be confirmed against a reliable reference before you act on them. Learn more
How do I save a dying plant?
Stabilize first: diagnose the cause, remove dead material, correct water and light, and then change only one thing at a time so you can see what helps. Botanica gives you an ordered cure plan and a recheck day so you can save a struggling plant methodically. Learn more
How do I know if my plant is actually recovering?
Track it over time instead of judging by memory. Save check-ups and compare a before/after view so slow progress is visible. Botanica keeps every diagnosis, cure step, and photo attached to the plant, all stored locally on your device. Learn more
Does Botanica keep my plant photos and data private?
Yes. Botanica is local-first: your plants, diagnoses, cure plans, photos, and preferences stay on your device with no account. The only content that leaves the device is the single photo you choose to diagnose, sent over HTTPS for the AI health check. Learn more
