A guide to houseplants

Taxonomy from GBIF, care without myths, and 19th-century botanical engravings. 133 species so far, and this is only the start.

What makes this guide different

Taxonomy, not hearsay

The Latin name, author, year of description and family come from GBIF, the global biodiversity database. Where sources disagree, the card keeps what can be checked.

19th-century botanical engravings

Public-domain lithographs from Wikimedia Commons show what product photos never do: the flower, the ripe fruit, the structure of a mature plant.

Care without myths

No “purifies the air”, no “improves the energy”. Watering, light, soil and temperature come from practical sources, with an explanation of why.
