Diagnosis

Spot on a leaf? Show it to Mio

Take a photo of your plant, and Mio will identify it and spot any visible problem. Rather not take a photo? Pick what you see, and we’ll figure out together whether it’s a nutrient deficiency, a disease or a pest.

See it in place

Before you buy a plant, use your camera to place it in any corner of your room or garden. Resize it, rotate it and pick a pot color, then snap a photo and share it.

Light meter

Hold your phone where your plant sits, and Hobimio measures the light and compares it with what the plant needs. It also tells you how many hours of sun a spot in your garden gets.

Leaf analysis

Got leaf test results from a lab? Enter the values to see on a color scale which nutrients are low and which are too high. Available for 171 plants.

Your guide, Mio

Meet Mio

Mio is a leafy friend. On the home screen, Mio greets you, chats with you and shows you what you can do in the app. In Diagnosis, Mio studies your photo and cheers on finding the answer, and gets worried if your plant isn’t getting enough light.
