SAVE A PLANT
Everything deserves a comeback story.
Point your phone at a marked-down, neglected or dying plant. Find out what it is, whether it can come back, and exactly what to do in the next 48 hours.
Scan a plantSee how it works — 3 example rescuesOne plant. Six weeks. Drag to see it.
A clearance-rack pothos with three living leaves, brought back with nothing more than light, water discipline and a little attention.
Makes a 1080×1350 card — both photos, days of care and the health change.
Rescue day 
Week 8 Clearance-rack fiddle leaf fig
Three leaves left and a bone-dry root ball. Steady light and a strict watering rhythm did the rest.
Rescue day 
Week 6 Etiolated succulent
Stretched and pale from a windowless shelf. Beheaded, re-rooted, and back to a tight rosette.
How the scan works
Take one photo
Whole plant, in daylight if you can. No account, no setup.
Get an honest read
Species, a real/artificial check, and a straight answer on whether it can be saved — with the confidence level shown.
Follow the 48-hour plan
Water, light and triage steps sized to that plant. Save it to your journal and we'll remind you.
Rather not photograph anything yet? Run a sample scan on an example plant.
The plant recovers. So, quietly, do you.
Pooled analyses of controlled trials find that regular, hands-in-soil plant care significantly reduces depression and anxiety symptoms — in ordinary community-dwelling adults, not just clinical patients.
Read the evidence
Most big-box stores mark plants down on a weekly cycle. Ask a garden associate which day — and what happens to the ones that don't sell.
