/plantcare
Helps you identify a plant and work out what it needs.
The full prompt
/plantcare Here's my plant: [attach a photo, or describe it and give its name if you know it]. The problem: [what's going wrong]. Where it lives: [indoors/outdoors, light, how often I water]. Tell me what the plant probably is, the most likely causes of the problem, and simple care steps. If you're not sure what it is, say so.
Replace the highlighted [brackets] with your own details, then send.
What you're asking
You ask the AI to name your plant and help fix its problem. You get a best guess, likely causes, and care steps.
Give it
- A clear photo of the leaves and whole plant
- What's going wrong
- Light and watering
- Indoors or outdoors
You need: Photo option needs an AI app that accepts images (most do, some only on paid plans).
No photo upload? Describe the leaves, size and color, or give the name from the plant tag.
Check: Plant IDs from photos can be wrong. If you have pets or small children, check whether the plant is safe for them.
Filled-in example
/plantcare Here's my plant: [photo of a leafy houseplant in a pot by the window]. The problem: the lower leaves are turning yellow. Where it lives: indoors, bright window, I water it every 3 days. Tell me what the plant probably is, the most likely causes of the problem, and simple care steps. If you're not sure what it is, say so.
Use it in any AI chat. The slash word is a label, not a built-in command; the prompt does the work, and answers vary by app. How these work
