Money plant disease atlas: A comprehensive dataset for disease classification in ornamental horticulture.

Epipremnum aureum, sometimes known as the Money Plant, is a popular houseplant known for its hearts-shaped leaves and durability. Commonly referred to as Golden Pothos or Devil's Ivy, it is also appreciated for its ornamental value and air cleaning ability. They say that these plants are attractive to many people owing to their tolerance to several conditions and easy care, therefore, it is no surprise that they are found in many households and workplaces. Money Plants are hardy, but like any other plant they can also be infected by various diseases, which may render them less attractive, or even unattractive. This work encompasses bacterial wilt, manganese poisoning aspects and together with a healthy leaves aspect presents all prevalent masses and offer a comprehensive image of diseases. A dataset of 224 × 224 pixel images is utilized to accomplish this work with the intention to further enhance support in Ornamental Horticulture practices and diagnose more accurately. This work not only contributes ideas and approaches in understanding the field of plants pathology but also stresses on the fact how image processing can be beneficial in looking after plants. The dataset serves as a solid foundation for deep learning approaches into Ornamental Agriculture and provides useful insights for researchers studying the cultivation of money plants.
