I didn’t know where to post this but can someone remind me (I know I saw it somewhere) when you have duplicates of the same plant how you are managing when you combine them into one pot? Trying to clean up my app and list of plants and I know someone asked this previously but now I can’t find it.

Not sure this is the answer you're looking for but I just mark one of them as dead

😂 I was thinking about that or marking one as a gift or just deleting both completely and starting over and just making a note. 🤷‍♀️ I have about 8 plants that need to turn into 4.

Yeah I recently combined a few of my variegated plants with the non-variegated variety and marked dead one of the two (usually the newer plant so I could keep the majority of the progress pics

I have duplicates of plants or props in various stages. And I just need to clear up some shelf space lol. I saw someone posted at some point some good way to do that in app but can’t find it now 🤷‍♀️

When I combine, I will gift the one to keep its records. Then do a “repot” for the other to change all the stats. Then I will take a “photo” and include a note that the plants were combined.

Thats what I think I saw someone else said they do. Either way I have about 15 different things to combine and move around…I’ll have a busy day one day this week! 😬😂
