Getting Started with Premium

Keep Aeonium for your first search. You can also choose Aichryson, Monanthes, × Semponium or All genera. You can leave the plant type set to All types.

In Name, enter, for example, ‘Sunburst’, without quotation marks. Part of a name may be enough. Documented matches also include synonyms and former names.

Click Search. The results appear. The field may clear, but your search criteria remain above the cards. Each card shows the accepted name and, where helpful, the matching name that explains why it appears.

Choose a letter under Browse A to Z to browse matching names. All returns to all letters; 0-9 groups names beginning with a number. If there are several pages of results, use Next or Previous.

Click View profile to open the Premium profile: summary, parentage, names, timeline, characteristics and sources, where available. The links Read the French article and Read the English article open the website articles, where available. In the profile, Back to results takes you back to your search.

I own this plant adds a plant to your collection. The heart I want this plant adds it to My Wishlist. These controls apply to the cultivar named on the card: check its name and profile before using them.

Find a plant you actually own, then check its identity in the profile. Select I own this plant. Then open My Collection using the link below to find your entry.

In Detailed view, enter its name in Search my collection, then click Search. If there is no match, clear the name and search again to show your full collection. The At a glance button opens the overview.

In the Detailed view, the + button opens Record an addition (+1). Add useful details — acquisition date, source, price and other information — then click Save to confirm. Cancel closes the form without adding an entry. The − button records a removal. Open My additions and removals to view your recorded transactions.

In Detailed view, open My comments, enter your observation in Your note (only visible to you), then click Save my note. The Premium profile also provides a My private notelink. Use it to keep a care observation or a reminder to help you identify the pot.

This view separates the number of varieties from the number of plants counted. The plant total includes only quantities you have entered. Groups can be expanded or collapsed; Expand all and Collapse all let you browse them quickly. Variegated forms are grouped by documented lineage. To change a quantity, return to Detailed view.

In Expert Search, open Explore a lineage. This module finds mutations and reversions across the documented generations from a starting plant.

In Choose a starting plant, type Sunburst, then click Sunburst in the suggestions. Check that the message says Selected plant: Sunburst. Typing the name alone does not complete the selection.

Click Show results, below the modules. In the checked example, results include ‘Starburst’ and ‘Emerald City’, with the generation and documented relationship indicated. Open the profiles to understand their parentage.

On a card or profile, select the heart I want this plant to find the plant in My Wishlist. On this page, the Search my wishlist field helps you find it. Once you acquire the plant, use I found it: move to my collection. You can also untick the heart Remove from my wishlist to remove it from this list.

In Which name did you find?, type, for example, Copper Pinwheel. The search starts automatically; you can also click Check it! or press Enter.

In this example, Copper Pinwheel → Sunburst means that these names are linked to the same catalogue entry. Check the other known names and the Read profile link to learn more. Similar names suggested as possible leads are not automatically synonyms.
