Сфоткал лист — узнал диагноз и какое тайское удобрение купить. История каждого растения с момента покупки до продажи черенка.
Problem
Тайские коллекционеры ароидов (монстера, филодендрон, антуриум) держат 10-100+ растений ценой 5K-100K бат каждое и постоянно постят на Pantip фото жёлтых/жжёных листьев — PictureThis определяет вид, но не диагностирует проблему; нет inventory-app с photo-timeline, lineage-tree черенков и TH-локализованным leaf-doctor.
Audience
TH plant-коллекционеры с BKK-кондо и провинциальными участками — серьёзные владельцы 10-100+ горшков (Variegated Monstera Albo 50K THB, Anthurium clarinervium 30K THB), часть продаёт черенки на Lazada/Shopee/FB Marketplace; cohort 25-50 лет, выросший после ковидного бума 2020-2022.

What we ship
**Core features (MVP)**
- Inventory: each plant with unique ID, photo timeline, purchase date+price, seller/farm, current state
- Leaf-doctor: photo → diagnosis (water/light/nutrient/pest) + recommended TH-available fertilizer with Lazada link

- Care journal: watering, feeding, repotting with photo-attach
- LINE reminders: "Water Monstera Albo in 3 days"
**Primary user flow**
1. LINE Login → add first plant (photo + name + purchase price)
2. Weekly — photo of new leaf, leaf-doctor check
3. After 6 months — air-layering, add child-cutting to lineage tree
4. Pro upgrade at 5+ plants or first cutting sale
**What it looks like**

Reasoning
Pantip topics 40999234 and 39872941 show a recurring pattern: collectors photograph yellow/burned leaves and ask the forum because PictureThis (dominant solution) only IDs species, not diagnoses problems. The 2020-2022 COVID boom created a huge TH aroid collector cohort — Anthurium clarinervium, Monstera Albo Variegata cost 5K-100K THB. These users are motivated to pay for tools. Stack ideal: Cloudflare PWA + Railway + R2 for photo storage + Claude vision for diagnosis. **medium competitive pressure** — PictureThis is strong in plant ID, but doesn't cover diagnosis + inventory + lineage; we position as "PictureThis for those who already know the species".
Quick competitive read
- **PictureThis / Plantum** — plant ID, $50/year, no diagnosis depth, no TH locale. ~10M downloads global.
- **Greg / Planta** — care-reminder apps, generic advice, no vision diagnosis, no lineage.
- **Discogs** — inventory + value-tracking model we port to plants.
- **Positioning**: PictureThis answers "what is it"; we answer "why it's sick + what to buy on Lazada + collection history". Direct competitors with traction — 0-1.
Initial pricing hypothesis
Free — up to 5 plants, basic journal, 3 leaf-doctor queries/mo. Pro — 199 THB/mo (~$5.5) or 1490 THB/year for unlimited plants + unlimited leaf-doctor + lineage PDF. Premium tier for cutting sellers — 299 THB/mo with whitelabel lineage cert. 99-299 THB band fits collectors with 30K-50K THB plants.
Distribution hypothesis
1) Direct reply on Pantip topics 40999234, 39872941 ("built a leaf-doctor app, try it"); 2) FB groups "กลุ่มคนรัก Monstera", "Anthurium Thailand" (50-100K each); 3) Instagram micro-influencers with aroid collections (10-50K followers); 4) TikTok shorts "5 signs your Monstera has a problem" with soft CTA; 5) Lazada affiliate gives side-revenue + organic traffic.
