How this symptom checker works

Each symptom above maps to the most statistically likely cause for indoor plants, based on the same diagnostic logic FloraCure’s AI uses — read the leaf, then rule causes in or out. A visual checker can only go so far: the same yellow leaf can mean overwatering on a monstera and normal aging on a dracaena. That’s why every result links to a full guide, and why the definitive check is a photo scan that also factors in your local temperature and humidity.

When to skip the checker

If your plant collapsed overnight, smells swampy at the soil, or a pet chewed it — don’t diagnose by list. Go straight to the root rot rescue guide for the first two, and for pets call your vet or the ASPCA poison line at (888) 426-4435, checking the plant on our toxic plants guide.
