Learn why PlantMaster plant records (we call them ePlants) are perfect for your projects.
What is an ePlant?
We know that design is local. So you need plant records that can be continuously updated to suit your specific climate and conditions. ePlants are 100% customizable – you really can change anything about each plant.
Every ePlant packages everything nicely into one place; including description, details about the plant’s anatomy, culture, and design, plus tons high-quality images of the plant.
Get a real sense for how each plant looks.
Each plant record includes a collection of high resolution images – these images are used in all reports and presentations. Click on any image in the collage to see it full screen!
If you want to add or change the order of the images, you totally can!
The first image is used for all reports. By reorganizing the image order, you can determine which images will appear in your reports and as the thumbnails in your presentations.

Design is local.
So is plant data.
Plants bloom at different times in different regions or growth habits may be unique in your area. You need a plant record that can keep up. PlantMaster is an open system, which means you can change ANYTHING in the plant record. That includes adding images, changing data, or adding your own plants.
We pride ourselves on having more plant characteristics than any other online database. Take a closer look at all the plant details you can refine.
See all the fields you can edit at a glance.
Use the database to find the right plants.
PlantMaster is backed by a powerful plant database. So all plant details will be included in the plant search filters (so make sure to include as much data as you can!)
With so much detail for each plant, you’ll be able to run VERY specific search criteria to find the right plants for any problem areas or specialty elements in your projects.
“One of the most important item to convey to clients is plant images and information. PlantMaster enables me to present a comprehensive package with several photo images per plant. Various reports and general plant information can be presented as well, all in an easy to use format for the client.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have my plants?
We’ve worked really hard to include the RIGHT plants. We don’t claim to have every plant, but chances are we have most of the plants you use in your projects. Please take a look at the plant search to see for yourself. (But note that you won’t have access to all the filters and tools until you login to an account. Try typing in the first 3-5 letters of the plant name instead of the full name.)
If you really can’t find your plants, don’t give up on us yet! Send us your plant list! (Seriously, send us a sample plant list) We’ll take a look and work out a plan to add the plants you need.
Can I change the plant information?
YES! You can can change anything in an ePlant. You can update any plant details, add your own data or images, remove or change the order of any images. Bottom line, you can make the plant data accurate FOR YOU.
What if I use a plant as a tree sometimes and a shrub other times?
Great question! There are a two different ways to handle this depending on how you like to work. If you are continuously using the plant as both a shrub and tree, the best option is to create two different ePlants – one for the shrub, the other for the tree. Or, if you generally use the plant as a tree, but in one project plan to use it as a privacy screen, you can change the plant type for that specific project without affecting anything else.
The bottom line is you can edit the plant data any way you want.
Can I add my own plants?
Of course! Just remember to add as much detail as you can. (We know you’re in a hurry) Remember that everything you fill out about the plant will be used in the search filters, so the more data you include, the more the plant search will work for you!
If I add information, will everyone else see it?
Anything you add to your account, whether its images, plant data, (or anything really) is yours privately to use. No one else will see this information and it will not be public information. The plant records in the main database are all shared, but the second you make any changes to a plant, they become your private plant record.
I want to change the order of the pictures.
You can absolutely change the order of pictures. To do so, you’ll simply find the ePlant and click to “Edit” the plant. Once in the editing tools you can easily change the order. (The first picture in each ePlant is used for every presentation and report, so make sure you put your favorite picture first)
