Can’t find your specific collector’s plant in our database? No problem! Our platform allows you to manually input custom cultivars, hybrids, and crosses to ensure your digital collection is as unique as your physical one.

In this tutorial, we walk you through the “Input New Cultivar / Hybrid / Cross” workflow. We’ll show you how to define your plant’s lineage accurately and how to navigate the botanical jargon like a pro.

What we’ll cover:

  • Parentage Tracking: How to input the seed parent and pollen parent for hybrids.
  • Unlisted Parents: Adding plants to a lineage even if they aren’t in the database yet.
  • Using Help Buttons: Where to find definitions for botanical jargon if you get stuck.

Pro Tip: If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the terminology, keep an eye out for the “I have no idea” button! It’s designed to guide you through the definitions so your data stays clean and accurate.
