_Posted by Lulu on 2026-08-28_

Can/how do you add a plant not in the list? I have a Hoya carnosa - freckled splash. I have multiple different carnosa varieties and would like them listed correctly so I know which ones I have when plant shopping. Thanks!

When you go to add a plant and it prompts you to take a picture in the top left corner it will say manual entry , click there and you can input the plant.

I didn’t know this. Thx

Thanks Jess. I did try that but it brings up a list of plants and mine isn’t on there? I can’t remember but somewhere I remember seeing something that says recommend a plant be added?

I’m pretty sure if you search for your plant and absolutely nothing comes up at all, you can recommend a new plant there, but it’s been over a month since I’ve done it.

I pick the one closest then change the name of it to something that helps me know which is which.

I typically just pick the closest cultivar of the same species then change the “name” of the plant to what it actually is
