Before even identifying the type of plant you are treating, make sure you have a solid way to organize your diagnosis and treatment plan. Many plant doctors organize information using a type of document or form. This document also contains important information on the plant; such as it's age, species, name, etc.
To specify the information; also add these factors to your organization document:
-Sex
-Full name
-Birth/adoption date and estimated age
-Contacts (address, phone number, etc.)
-Soil type
-Species
-Species type
-Pot/holding mechanism specifics
-Air quality
-Water source and log (how much it gets weekly, and when)
-Accesibility to sunlight/amount of sunlight received
-Family history (if avalible)
-Medical history
-Allergies
-Most recent treatment plan
-Names of primary caregivers
Organize this information in a document and bring to any appointments. Ask caregivers for any information you have not yet received.
In addition to creating this informational document, please format a second document to take notes on. These notes should mainly elaborate on the symptoms of said plant. Part of this document should also include diegnosis and treatment plan. At the end of this appointment, it is important that both you and the plant's caregiver both recieve a copy of this document. This could possibly be via email.
Being organized is the first step to being a good plant doctor. It creates a sense of proffesionalism and good communication. While creating these documents, choose a format that works best for you.
