AI Plant Disease Scanner App

PlantMD is an app that uses AI to identify and diagnose plant diseases and provide care instructions.

In plain English

When a houseplant starts looking sick, PlantMD lets you scan it with a phone. The app uses AI to name what is wrong and then offers care instructions. Plant owners can see a free preview, then pay a weekly or yearly subscription, because they want a next step without guessing. The AI does most of the diagnosis, the care advice, and the billing. The person running PlantMD still checks quality, helps users, and treats odd or risky plant questions with extra care.
