If I’m adding a plant that has mixed foliage, what do you put it as in the app?

My strategy has been to look up each type of plant and see which one has the highest difficulty rating or seems to be the most picky about its conditions, and then set it as that one. It’s worked out okay, but sometimes the plants that are combined together have such wildly different requirements that I end up separating them.
