Point. Shoot. Diagnose.
No expertise needed — just get close to the problem and let Root Cause do the rest.
Wondering why your tomato leaves are turning yellow? Seeing spots, wilting, or strange bugs? Point your phone at the problem. Root Cause identifies plant diseases, pests, and nutrient deficiencies using AI — with full awareness of your location, season, and what you're actually growing.
Like Cornell's bird ID app, Root Cause uses context — your zone, season, what you're growing — to dramatically narrow possibilities and improve accuracy.
Point your camera at any leaf, stem, or soil condition. Root Cause automatically captures your local weather — temperature, humidity, soil temp — right at the moment of the photo.
Your photo, combined with your growing zone, season, recent rainfall, and plant variety, gives you a diagnosis that's specific to your garden — not just a generic ID.
No vague advice. You get a prioritized action plan — what to do this week, what's ongoing, and what to watch for next season. Companion planting tips included.
Your personal garden dashboard tracks all your plants, surfaces seasonal tips based on today's conditions, and alerts you before frost or pest pressure threatens your harvest.
Generic plant ID apps tell you what's wrong. Root Cause tells you what to do — and why it's happening in your specific garden, right now.
