Practical answer
Which photos should I bring to a garden centre for pest or plant diagnosis?
A single close-up is rarely enough for diagnosis. Bring photos that show the plant, the symptoms, the growing conditions, and the watering setup.
Good photos reduce guesswork and make it easier to avoid buying the wrong product.
Useful photo set
- Whole plant from a normal distance.
- Close-up of the damaged leaves, stems, buds, fruit, or soil surface.
- Leaf underside and new growth.
- Pot, bed, soil, mulch, and drainage area.
- Irrigation dripper, timer, or watering source if relevant.
- Nearby plants with or without similar symptoms.
Useful context to write down
- How long the plant has been there.
- Sun exposure and whether it is in wind or reflected heat.
- Watering frequency and recent changes.
- Any product already used.
