A human-powered diagnostic service where home gardeners submit photos + plant history (species, age, conditions) and receive a detailed 1-page care passport within 24 hours from a network of specialty plant experts. The passport includes: current health assessment, specific next steps for their exact plant stage, propagation timeline, expected yield/bloom, and a direct Slack/email channel for 30 days of follow-up questions. No generic advice—each passport is custom to their plant's actual condition.

Home gardeners don't know how to care for specialty plants they've grown from seed or propagationHome gardeners successfully grow unusual plants like pineapples but lack reliable guidance on next steps for care, propagation, and harvesting. They turn to forums and Q&A sites because existing gardening resources don't cover niche plants comprehensively, and they're uncertain whether their plant is healthy or dying. This uncertainty causes them to either abandon the plant or waste months on trial-and-error.
