Plant & Space Matcher FAQ
What do the space measurements mean?
The values reserve room for a managed container display. Follow each selected plant's growth-management step: prune extending vines, separate offsets or increase space as a clump develops.
How are plants matched?
The tool filters by location, plant goal, growing season, light, growth habit, care routine, the optional cats-and-dogs filter and available space. It then ranks the plants that meet those conditions.
How is grow-light planning applied?
It plans a bright-light indoor setup for appropriate houseplants. Full-sun herbs and sun-loving outdoor flowers still need a matching light selection.
What happens when no plant matches?
The result identifies the condition to change. Adjust the light, growth habit, care routine or reserved space, then run the matcher again. The cats-and-dogs filter stays part of your chosen conditions.
Which outdoor season should I choose?
The outdoor choices here plan container displays for a selected frost-free growing window. Choose an indoor arrangement when planning a protected indoor position.
How does the cats-and-dogs filter work?
It retains plant records checked against non-toxic listings for both cats and dogs. It also removes mixed live-plant assortments from product recommendations.
