Find out what's wrong with your houseplant

Quick check

What are you noticing?

Pick the sign that matches your plant. This isn't a diagnosis, just a calm first step.

Yellow leaves are usually about watering, light or normal aging, not disease. Start with the roots and whichever leaves are oldest.

Brown spots can mean sunburn, dryness, root rot or bacteria, and each looks a little different. Check the shade and shape of the spot.

A drooping plant is telling you something about water, but an overwatered plant and an underwatered one can look almost the same.

Care basics

When should you repot a houseplant?

Repot when the roots have filled the pot: they wrap around the root ball, poke out of the drainage hole, or the mix dries out within a day or two of watering. Do it in spring, and go up only 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) in pot width.

Watering

How to save a plant from root rot

While there are still firm roots to work with, you can save a plant from root rot: cut away everything brown and soft and repot into fresh mix in a smaller pot. If almost nothing firm is left, take cuttings instead.

Diagnosis

Why are my pothos leaves curling?

Pothos leaves usually curl because the pot has gone too dry, and they flatten out again within a day or two of a good soak. If the soil is already damp, look at the roots, the sun, and the undersides of the leaves instead.

Diagnosis

Why is my rubber plant dropping leaves?

Rubber plants answer almost any change by dropping leaves, so the place to start is what changed around the plant in the last month or two. How to tell adjustment from root rot, cold, and the rest.

Diagnosis

Why are my orchid leaves turning yellow?

A moth orchid only grows one or two leaves a year, so losing one matters more than it would on a pothos. The answer is in the roots, and a clear pot means you can check them without unpotting anything.

Diagnosis

Why are my ZZ plant leaves turning yellow?

ZZ plants are sold as nearly impossible to kill, so yellowing feels like a bad sign. Usually it is: the plant stores water in underground rhizomes, and a wet pot rots them before the yellow leaves even show up.

The app: a second opinion for your plant

One AI answer is often confidently wrong. Clover asks several models and only sounds sure when they agree. More about how it works.

1. Snap a photo

Take a picture of your plant and add one line about what you're seeing ("leaves turning yellow, lower ones first").

2. Get a second opinion — and a third

Several AI models examine your plant independently. Where they agree, you can be confident. Where they disagree, Clover says so instead of guessing.

3. Follow a simple care plan

What to do this week, how to adjust watering and light, and which warning signs to watch for.
