Hello group, how does one add a plant to the app if it doesn’t exist on it? I have 2 beauties I cannot locate via scanning the plant or typing the name in. Thank you!

I search various apps and or Google lens. And if I have enough info, I will enter similar family plant.

Occasionally you may find the plant has a couple different names when doing a search on the web. Try the other names in the app to see if it’s listed under a pseudonym.
