VerdiaDescribe the plant and its conditions
Give the plant a recognizable name, even if that is only 'desk plant in the blue pot'. Check the pot and growing medium as well as the foliage. Note where the plant sits, whether the position changed and what you last did. A dated baseline helps you compare later observations more fairly.
- Which leaves changed: old, new, scattered or most of them?
- Does the growing medium feel wet, dry or mixed at the checked depth?
- Can water leave the pot, and is water standing in the outer container?
- Did light, temperature, watering or placement change recently?
Choose a review point
Keep a photograph from a repeatable angle and write down any action separately from the observation. Changing water, light, feed and pot at once makes it difficult to understand what happened next. Use species-appropriate guidance when deciding whether any change is needed.
Verdia provides plant identification with match scores, care information and reminders for saved plants. Identification suggestions and care summaries still need context. The checklist here remains a manual note-taking aid and does not send a plant photo to Verdia or to its identification provider.
