Does the disease detection feature actually identify specific issues or just flag the plant as unhealthy, and how well does it handle less common varieties outside the 400k plant database?
Great question. It names the specific issue - the output is structured: disease/pest/nutrient-deficiency name, severity, affected parts (leaf/stem/root/fruit), and up to 5 treatment steps ordered by urgency.
One design decision I care about: it only commits to a specific disease name when visual confidence is high - below that it tells you it's unsure rather than guessing.
A confident wrong diagnosis is worse than an honest "not sure."
On uncommon varieties: diagnosis doesn't depend on the plant database at all. The vision model reasons about the symptoms it sees in the photo (leaf spots, mildew patterns, deficiency signs), which mostly generalize across species - so a rare cultivar gets the same analysis as a common tomato.
The 400k database powers recommendations and your garden inventory, not the diagnosis. Same philosophy in plant ID: if it can't pin the exact species, it gives you the genus or family with its confidence instead of inventing a name.
The to-scale 2D canvas is such a smart call — way more useful for actual spacing decisions than those generic drag-and-drop grids most garden apps throw at you. Really thoughtful piece of design.
@alsac_zafe13716 Thanks Zafer! Spacing was the whole point - a generic grid can't tell you a hosta will swallow the path in two years, a to-scale plan can.
Fun bonus: once the 2D plan is drawn, you can flip it into a 3D view of the garden (screenshot below) - same data, just rendered with real plant heights and spreads. Great for checking what a bed will actually look like once things mature.
What are you planning to map first?
Finally tried mapping my chaotic backyard and the to-scale canvas actually fit my weird shaped beds. Plant picks matched my zone better than other apps I have bounced off of.
@brahim821349 Thanks İbrahim! Weird-shaped beds were the whole reason we went free-form instead of a grid - my own garden is anything but rectangular. Which zone are you in? Curious if the picks hold up outside the common ones.
Plotted out my tiny herb patch in about ten minutes and the plant suggestions actually matched my shady balcony. The disease-spotting photo tool worked surprisingly well on a crispy basil leaf.
@ebubekirna9spz Ten minutes for a full herb patch is exactly what we aim for, thanks Ebubekir! Shady balconies are an underrated test case - most apps just assume everyone has a sunny backyard.... And glad the disease tool earned its keep on the basil 😄 was it overwatering or a fungus?
Curious what it caught - crispy leaves are one of the trickier calls because five different problems look almost identical.
