Homescreen

The app's home screen is designed to provide users with a comprehensive view of their stored plants and associated events. On this screen, users can easily view the latest chronological events related to their plants and access a list of the plants they own.

Plant

Add a new plant

To add a new plant, simply tap the search icon in the bottom bar. From there, you can either add a custom species or, if you setup a FloraCodex key, explore and add existing species to your collection.

Upon identifying the plant species, select it, click on "Add plant" at the bottom of the page, then input the necessary information, and proceed by clicking the "Add" button. For those without a FloraCodex key or wishing to add a new species, opt for the "Custom" species option, provide the required details, and then click on the "Save plant" button.
