# Question, when saving your plants in the app, and you have the same…

_Posted by Beaplant on 2025-01-23_

Question, when saving your plants in the app, and you have the same plant type numerous times, are you putting them all together, or are you putting each one of them as a separate plant? If put separately, are water propagations one extra plant, or you wait until you put it in the dirt?

I was doing them as one. But then some have grow lights, some don't, or heat/humidity differs. So I have been slowly breaking them out into separate. I asked for a duplication button option 😆 to make it easier.

Got it, I have a plant room cause I also have cats, so they’re all in the same place. Also they all have grow lights. 😖 the only thing that changes is the size of the pot.

Which that can effect the length in between waterings too.

i need a merging option, lol! i will often start with a few separate plants/props and then move them all into the same pot to save space or make room

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-24

I have done that! Lol I usually just delete all but one of them and then that's the "1" plant

i have thought about doing that, but i do wanna keep all the updates and pictures which would be a lot to manually enter and change dates, etc

I do separate because they all have their own names and I admire their individuality 😂😂 propagations get names as soon as they start rooting so they get their own section too and I just swap soil type when they're in the dirt
