Ok I did a plant search. What's next?
Have you knowledge of a particular plant? If so then you can easily add this information to a plant's page. For example do you know how much sun your favourite plant requires? If so go to your plant's page and look out for the 'Sun Exposure' heading. See the 'edit' link next to it? Click it and you will be able to choose the correct value/s for this plant's sun requirements. Click 'Save' and voila, you have just performed your first
