I am slowly building out the sidebar as a resource. Please pass along your knowledge. FOSS tools are best!
Not open source but I use Planta for watering reminders/tracking.
I recently found out about the Seek app on android - it can id plants using your camera. Useful for figuring out rando unlabeled plants on sale at my grocery store 🪴
My husband and I use a spreadsheet. It has a picture of the plant, information on care I pull from the web (so many great plant care sites around!) and a bit of info on when it was watered last and when last fertilised etc.
We have a large collection but the spreadsheet is still easily manageable.
I regularly employ the use of biodiversity data like SEINet to crossref with herbarium specimens. Honorable mention to the North American Ethnobotany Database for pulling up bibliographic info on plant-human interactions. There’s also a tool to lookup collection site IDs for cacti and succulents here: BCSS Field No. Lookup. These aren’t necessarily in the realm of plant care but I believe they could make a nice additon to the sidebar. Cheers!
