Visual, Interactive Plant Care Guide & Pruning App

Published on 10/30/2025 Product Idea Validation (Non-SaaS)

New gardeners often struggle with specific plant care decisions, especially pruning, and need visual, context-specific advice. This product would be an interactive mobile application or web-based tool that allows users to upload photos of their plants (e.g., a tomato 'sucker') and receive immediate, tailored advice on what to do and why. It would provide visual step-by-step guides for pruning techniques, explain the benefits/drawbacks of different actions (e.g., 'tall vs. bushy,' 'more tomatoes vs. larger fruit'), and offer general care tips for various plant types. The app could leverage image recognition for plant part identification and provide a 'decision tree' interface based on the gardener's goals. This addresses the need for clear, actionable, and visually supported information that is often missing from general gardening guides.
