How do you measure plant size when entering details in Planta? Some plants can easily be measured by how tall it is, but take a pothos for example; mine aren’t tall, but long and lanky.

I don’t think the exact size matters but as long as it’s close-ish it should be fine. I don’t know if that helps 😕

Not gonna lie, I just enter the same dimensions as the pot I’m using at the time lol.

i go by leaf diameter, personally, but i don't think that's what you're supposed to do lol
