How do I request a plant to be added to the database?

You can submit a plant request by following these steps:

1. Go to the Search bar.
2. Type the name of the plant you wish to request.
3. If the plant is missing from the database, you will see an option to request it.
4. Tap Suggest plant to be added.

You will be able to use this plant as soon as our team of plant experts has added it. To make sure all information in Planta is correct, only our team of experts can add new plants to the database. They carefully verify all incoming requests.

If the "Suggest plant to be added" button doesn’t appear, the search bar might be picking up on shared keywords from existing plants. To bring the button up, try searching for a random set of characters that yields zero results. You can then edit the text to the correct plant name in the next step before submitting your request.

Please note that due to a high volume of requests at the moment, it might take some time for your plant to be reviewed. You will be notified in the app once your plant has been added to the database.

If your plant hasn’t been added, it may be due to invalid photos, an incorrect scientific name, or because it is a synonym for a plant already existing in the database. Please contact us if you have any further questions about your requested plant, and we will be happy to help!
