Why

Most houseplant advice online is copied from site to site, and the same mistakes travel with it. We built a guide where every number can be checked: where it came from, and what the source actually says.

Where the data comes from

The Latin name, author, year and family come from GBIF, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. Native range and toxicity come from POWO, maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Sizes, morphology and growing conditions come from Wikipedia and specialist sources, checked against each other.

A language model writes only the connecting text around verified facts. It does not invent numbers or taxonomy: if there is no fact, the field stays empty. Every data block carries a line of sources, and every photo carries its author and license.

About this edition

plants.place started in Ukrainian. The English edition is translated from it with an AI model and checked automatically: Latin names, numbers and the structure of each card must match the original exactly, and plant names are taken from GBIF rather than invented. If something reads wrong, tell us.

Now

133 species in the guide, 827 photos and botanical engravings. The catalog keeps growing.

Who makes it

The project is non-commercial and made by one person. In Ukraine it also runs a free marketplace for private plant listings, in Ukrainian.
