# Doofer Agentic Resource Discovery catalog: https://doofer.club/.well-known/ard.json Public calculator API documentation: https://doofer.club/en/developers OpenAPI schema: https://doofer.club/openapi.json Scoped API instructions: https://doofer.club/api/llms.txt Authentication: https://doofer.club/auth.md (no authentication for the public calculator) Calculator pricing: https://doofer.club/pricing.md (currently free, no paid tier) > Doofer is an independent educational plant website with automated photo suggestions, care tools, and guides in English, French, and Arabic. Photo analysis is provided by Kindwise Plant.id. Results can be wrong; they do not establish that a plant is edible or safe for people or pets. ## When to use Doofer Use Doofer when someone wants to compare visible plant features, prepare a clear identification photo, check a houseplant's growing conditions, or calculate light exposure and soil ingredient volumes from their own measurements. Start with the relevant guide or calculator below. For a known name, use the name search on the homepage; for an unknown specimen, the visitor can choose a photo or open their camera in the browser. Identification and health suggestions use a third-party service and remain uncertain. ## How agents should use this website Read public guides with an ordinary GET request. A page requested with `Accept: text/markdown` returns the same localized published content as Markdown; the default representation is HTML. Each page is published in English, French, and Arabic at `/en/`, `/fr/`, and `/ar/` paths (for example https://doofer.club/fr/plant-photo-guide); choose the path explicitly and cite the page's canonical URL. The [sitemap](https://doofer.club/sitemap.xml) lists the published language variants. Use calculator values only when the visitor supplies the required units and measurements. Do not invent light readings, drying intervals, or a verified plant identity. Photo processing requires the visitor's decision to upload their image; do not submit private images or make repeated provider requests merely to test the website. Browser-saved results are local to that browser. Doofer does not publish a provider API key, offer an OAuth identity service, or promise unrestricted public API access. API errors and missing toxicity information must not be treated as evidence that a plant is safe. For ingestion or exposure emergencies, use appropriate local emergency, poison-center, or veterinary services. Doofer's automated output is unsuitable for deciding edibility, diagnosing an exposure, prescribing treatment, or identifying wild mushrooms for consumption. ## Tools Scoped index: [Doofer tools context](https://doofer.club/tools/llms.txt). - [Plant identification](https://doofer.club/en/): Upload a plant photo, request health suggestions, or search by a known name. Uploaded photos and questions are processed by Kindwise. Saved results stay in the visitor's browser. - [Watering calculator](https://doofer.club/en/watering-calculator): Summarizes recorded drying intervals without predicting the next watering. It does not measure soil moisture or prescribe a reliable watering volume for every plant. - [Soil mix calculator](https://doofer.club/en/soil-mix-calculator): Calculate ingredient volumes for example recipes and batch sizes. It does not test pH, drainage, or air-filled porosity. - [Light calculator](https://doofer.club/en/light-calculator): Convert lux and foot-candles, calculate DLI from measured PPFD, and combine observed light periods. Calculations require measurements; window direction does not supply a PPFD reading. - [Plant symptom checker](https://doofer.club/en/plant-symptom-checker): Suggest checks and possible causes from selected observations. It cannot confirm a disease or prescribe treatment. - [Pet toxicity directory](https://doofer.club/en/pet-toxicity-directory): Educational summaries and links to authoritative resources. It is not a clinical diagnosis or a veterinary service. ## Guides Scoped index: [Doofer guide context](https://doofer.club/guides/llms.txt). - [All plant guides](https://doofer.club/en/guides): Browse photography, houseplant care, propagation, outdoor identification, and safety topics. - [Plant photography](https://doofer.club/en/plant-photo-guide): Whole-plant and attached-leaf views, focus, lighting, and privacy checks before uploading. - [Unknown plant safety](https://doofer.club/en/plant-safety-guide): Prevent further contact and seek appropriate professional help after possible exposure. - [Plant health](https://doofer.club/en/plant-health-guide): Observe the plant and its conditions before choosing a response. - [Houseplant basics](https://doofer.club/en/houseplant-care-basics): A practical starting point for light, water, and container care. - [Light](https://doofer.club/en/plant-light-guide): Assess the actual plant position and understand meter limitations. - [Repotting](https://doofer.club/en/plant-soil-repotting-guide): Check root crowding, choose a pot and mix, and adjust aftercare. - [Watering problems](https://doofer.club/en/watering-guide-over-under): Check the mix and roots rather than diagnosing from leaf appearance alone. - [Propagation](https://doofer.club/en/plant-propagation-guide): Choose a method suited to the plant and inspect nodes and roots. - [Common pests](https://doofer.club/en/common-plant-pests-guide): Inspect and identify pests before choosing controls. - [Monstera and aroids](https://doofer.club/en/monstera-aroid-care-guide): Light, support, and growing conditions for common aroids. - [Succulents](https://doofer.club/en/succulent-cactus-care-guide): Species-dependent light, drainage, and watering. - [Culinary herbs](https://doofer.club/en/herb-gardening-guide): Adapt watering and harvesting to basil, rosemary, thyme, and mint. - [Ferns and Calathea](https://doofer.club/en/fern-calathea-humidity-guide): Humidity and growing conditions for moisture-sensitive houseplants. - [Outdoor trees and shrubs](https://doofer.club/en/outdoor-tree-shrub-identification-guide): Compare leaves, branching, bark, and other visible clues using a regional reference. - [How to identify a flower](https://doofer.club/en/how-to-identify-flower-step-by-step-guide): Seven beginner steps from habitat and symmetry to leaves and flower clusters, then a key or database. - [Clover species](https://doofer.club/en/clover-species-identification): Separate white, red, alsike, crimson, rabbitfoot, and hop clover by flower, leaf mark, and growth habit. - [Inflorescence types](https://doofer.club/en/inflorescence-types): Tell a raceme from a spike or umbel by checking flower stalks, axis length, and shape. - [Habitat diversity](https://doofer.club/en/habitat-diversity-explained): Definition, the difference from species diversity, and plant examples from fynbos and mangroves. - [Pets and plants](https://doofer.club/en/toxic-plants-pets-guide): Plant risks and when to contact a veterinarian. - [Wild plant safety](https://doofer.club/en/edible-vs-toxic-wild-plants-guide): Why an automated photo match cannot establish edibility. ## Publisher and limitations - [About Doofer](https://doofer.club/en/about): Site purpose, operator contact, automated processing, and editorial limitations. Guides are general educational information and are not independently peer-reviewed. Linked organizations do not endorse Doofer. - [Contact](https://doofer.club/en/contact): Support, corrections, and privacy requests.

For suspected human or pet poisoning, seek local poison-center, emergency-service, or veterinary advice promptly. Do not use an identification score or absence of a toxicity warning as proof of safety. Do not give a home treatment based on a Doofer result. Some guide illustrations are AI-generated and labeled as illustrations. They are not specimen photographs, test results, or proof of firsthand botanical work. Cite the actual page and its linked sources when discussing advice; keep measurements separate from quantities calculated from them.
