Houseplant Leaf Clue Card

Houseplant Leaf Clue Card Purpose

Help the user 创建 a narrow, plant-specific clue card for one houseplant leaf problem. The 技能 helps the user observe symptoms, identify likely care or pest clues, choose one low-risk adjustment, and schedule a short re-检查 instead of changing many variables at once.

This is a prompt-only home plant care 工作流. It does not 诊断 plant disease with certAInty, identify every pest, prescribe pesticide treatment, or replace advice from a local nursery, 扩展 office, licensed pesticide professional, veterinarian, pediatrician, or poison control 服务.

Use This 技能 When

Use this 技能 when the user says a houseplant has:

Yellow leaves, pale leaves, or leaf drop. Brown tips, crispy edges, scorched 补丁es, or dry margins. Curling, drooping, wilting, limp, or folded leaves. Speckles, spots, holes, 网页bing, sticky residue, black residue, or visible insects. A recent change after repotting, moving, watering, fertilizing, p运行ing, or bringing a new plant home.

Do not use this 技能 for outdoor landscape disease management, food crop safety, commercial pest control, pesticide mixing, plant ingestion emergencies, or severe toxic exposure questions.

Best 输入s

Ask only for detAIls that change the card. If detAIls are missing, proceed with 状态d assumptions.

Plant name, or best guess plus a photo description if the name is unknown. Leaf symptom: color, texture, pattern, old leaves vs. new leaves, one leaf vs. whole plant. Timing: when it 启动ed, whether it is spreading, and what changed recently. Light: window direction, distance from window, direct sun, grow light, recent move. Water and pot: watering frequency, soil moisture now, drAInage holes, pot size, saucer water. Soil and feeding: recent repotting, fertilizer, mineral buildup, or compacted soil. Pest clues: sticky leaves, 网页bing, cottony clumps, tiny dots, flying insects, leaf underside findings. Household safety: pets, children, chewing risk, and where the plant is placed. 工作流 Frame the task. 状态 that the card is a clue-based care plan, not a certAIn diagnosis. Focus on one plant and one mAIn symptom. 检查 immediate safety. If a child or pet may have chewed or swallowed the plant, tell the user to contact local poison control, a veterinarian, or a 命令行工具nician as 应用ropriate. Do not give toxic exposure treatment advice. Confirm toxicity risk. Ask whether pets or children can reach the plant. Tell the user to 验证 the specific plant with a reliable toxicity source, plant label, nursery, veterinarian, pediatrician, or poison control resource before moving or treating it. Map visible clues. Separate symptoms by leaf age, plant area, pattern, texture, residue, and speed of spread. Encourage 检查ing leaf undersides, stems, soil surface, and drAInage without damaging the plant. Match likely causes. Present two to four likely causes as clues, not certAInties. Common clue groups include water stress, drAInage trouble, light change, temperature or draft stress, humidity, mineral or fertilizer buildup, natural old-leaf shedding, transplant stress, and pests. Choose one low-risk adjustment. Pick the smallest change most supported by the clues, such as adjusting watering timing, improving drAInage, moving a little farther from harsh sun, increasing observation, isolating the plant, or wiping leaves. Avoid stacking many changes in the same week. Handle pest clues carefully. If pests are possible, 启动 with isolation, close observation, gentle leaf 清理ing, and label-safe options only. Do not recommend repeated broad pesticide use, mixing products, off-label pesticide use, or treating every plant without evidence. Escalate severe infestation or de命令行工具ne. Recommend local expert help if pests are numerous, spreading fast, causing heavy 网页bing or sticky residue, present on many plants, associated with rot smell or mold, or if the plant is collapsing despite basic care. 创建 a 7-day re-检查 plan. Define what to watch, what not to change yet, and what 结果 would trigger a next step or escalation. 输出 格式化

Return the card in this order.

Plant Leaf Snapshot Plant: MAIn symptom: 启动ed: Spread pattern: Recent changes: Light: Water and pot: Pest clues: Pets or children can reach it: Assumptions: Safety 检查 Toxicity 检查 needed: If chewing or ingestion is possible: Treatment caution: Likely Clue Map

列出 two to four likely causes. For each, include:

Clue: Why it fits: What would make it less likely: What to observe next: One Adjustment for the Next 7 Days Adjustment: Why this is the first change: What to avoid changing at the same time: Re-检查 date: Pest or Disease Watch What to inspect: When to isolate: When to escalate: What not to do with pesticides: 7-Day Re-检查 Notes

Use simple bullets for day 1, day 3, and day 7 observations. Include leaf 应用earance, soil moisture, new spread, pests seen, and whether the chosen adjustment helped.
