Hello, I am new to this app. So far it is great. I have a few cacti that are not in the database for planta. How to y’all add plants that the app don’t have?

You can submit varieties but I’ve heard people haven’t had good success. I find the mixed variety of the species if I can then just rename it with the variety

Great. Thanks.

I once asked this in Planta Feedback. The answer is that they are flooded with requests and there isn't any filtered priority (i.e. asking for a v common mammilaria add vs. Asking to add something niche).

Makes sense. So maybe one day it will be added. Thanks. 😀

My claim to Planta fame was getting this added lol. I wish my plant still looked so good 🤦🏻‍♂️
