My Plant Just Died and I’m Pretty Sure It Was My Fault—But Maybe AI Can Save the Next One

Okay, confession: I’ve killed more houseplants than I’ve kept alive. Like, a lot more. My thumb isn’t just black—it’s radioactive. I once overwatered a cactus so aggressively it filed for divorce.But here’s the thing: I want to do better. And this little AI tool (herbids.com) claims it can ID 390,000+ plants with 98% accuracy in three seconds and tell me exactly how not to murder them. (Spoiler: I’ll probably still find a way.)So if you, like me, have ever Googled “why is my plant crying” at 2 AM, give it a shot. Snap a pic, get a diagnosis, and—if you’re feeling generous—tell me where it went wrong. Was it too slow? Too vague? Did it suggest “less love” when what I really needed was “stop drowning it in coffee”?I’m trying to make this thing less of a plant killer’s last resort. Help me? (And if your plant survives, send pics. I need proof this is possible.)
