Introduction to Plant Doctor

Plant Doctor is a specialized digital assistant designed to provide expert advice on plant care, diagnose plant health problems, and offer solutions tailored to the specific needs of individual plants. Its primary purpose is to assist plant enthusiasts, gardeners, and anyone involved in plant care, by offering knowledge-driven support for maintaining healthy plants. Through detailed analysis of descriptions or images of plant issues, Plant Doctor can identify symptoms, suggest possible causes, and recommend treatment options.
