# It seems like I used to be able to suggest plants to Planta that…

It seems like I used to be able to suggest plants to Planta that weren’t in their database. Did I make this up or just forgot where to find it? I have so many Epipremnums and most aren’t in the database.

In plants. Upper right corner is a search. If you type something that’s not currently in database, I think then it’s asks if you want to suggest it for data base.  
Did it add your other plants? I’ve tried this before and I didn’t think anything happened after that

I don’t remember it ever working but I thought I’d try again. Thanks!

Tried it again and no option other than existing plants. Maybe they stopped since they’re not adding anyway, lol. Oh well 😣

I have been using the plant name as the custom name if I don’t find it in the database

it's still in the search options. type in what you're looking for. if it's not there, it will prompt you to request it to be added. though, i will say, i've been requesting things for months and nothing i've sent in has been added LOL so i don't think they really care
