Plant Pest Identifier
Use visible clues such as webbing, sticky residue, cottony clusters, flying insects, black dots, speckling, and leaf damage to investigate common houseplant pests including mites, gnats, scale, mealybugs, and thrips.
What this free tool checks
This checklist helps you collect symptoms, compare common causes, and decide what evidence to gather before using the Plant Doctor app. It is designed to be useful even before download: inspect the full plant, close-up symptoms, soil, drainage, light, care history, pest signs, and recent changes.
How to interpret results
Treat the checklist as a triage aid, not a final diagnosis. If several causes still fit, take clearer photos, add care context, use the app for confidence-scored diagnosis, or ask an expert when the plant is rare, edible, valuable, or declining quickly.
