Frequently asked questions
How does Sherleaf diagnose a plant from a photo?
Sherleaf uses Google's Gemini vision AI to look at the visible symptoms in your photo — discoloration, spots, wilting, deformation, visible pests, mould — and infers the most likely problem. You get a diagnosis name, a severity rating, a confidence score, and a step-by-step treatment plan.
Is Sherleaf free?
Yes. Your first two diagnoses are completely free. After that, an optional Pro subscription will unlock unlimited diagnoses.
What kinds of plants does Sherleaf work with?
Common indoor and outdoor plants, vegetables, fruit trees, ornamentals, herbs, and houseplants. It works best when symptoms are visible on leaves, stems, or fruit.
Can I trust the diagnosis?
Sherleaf gives you a confidence score with every diagnosis. Treat it as a strong second opinion and a starting point — for valuable plants or severe cases, confirm with a local extension service or an experienced gardener before you act.
Does Sherleaf store my photos?
No. Photos are processed in memory and immediately discarded. They are never stored on our servers and are never used to train AI models. Read the full privacy policy.
