Triangulation
Question from
In forum: How to use the site
Would be grateful if someone could advise how you plot onto the design using triangulation ? I tend to use triangulation more often than right angles off a baseline when surveying. Both methods are proving really hard to plot correctly with this program but any advice would be gratefully received.

Plant - almost a metre tall, green/purple leaves, purple stems, a group of tiny white flowers at the top of each stem. I'm not sure if I planted it (no label), or whether it was self-set. Herbaceous. (Is the photo visible?)

Wouild it be possible to filter plants in Planner (especially the desktop version) by Groups? Also, maybe the ability to search for a plant from those available in the list?

Image size limit?
Question from
In forum: How to use the site
Hi,
I have been struggling to make a Plant ID request. I seem to have now succeeded but it was a trial and I just wanted to let you know.
I suspect I had run into an image size limit with a single image. I was posting three. I am IT literate and if I struggled for some days with this I can see many others just giving up.
If there is a size limit please make it readily available to those making posts.
e.g. Change your text on the new post page from: "Add up to 3 images. The image files should be in jpg format."
to something like: "Add up to 3 images in jpg format. Max 1M Bytes each, 2M Bytes total."
A single image of 2018KB is too big I strongly suspect and 627KB is OK.
Thanks.

Assistanace identifying plant please
Question from
In forum: Identify a plant
This plant appeared alongside a closed common-hallway located ivy plant which is in a small pot outside my top-floor door. It seems a pretty odd place for a new plant to find some soil.
It has grown to a stem length of about 2 feet but in a U shape, now with three stems over about a year or a bit more. Each stem comes out the pot, descends to just brush the floor and then ascends back to the height of the pot (about 1 foot). I guess it's pot-buddy vine may have made it descend from the pot at first.
A cutting I planted in a different pot has grown straight up so far.
Each stem has directly attached leaves with no branches.
The stems are not at all woody or fibrous and break very easily in the fingers even though they are perhaps 5mm in diameter. It's probably easier than breaking a crisp lettuce.
The entire plant is a bright deep green.
The leaves seem perhaps semi-succulent (I am not a plant expert) and are very smooth and perhaps a little waxy.
Each stem has opposite pairs of leaves with each pair 90 degrees round from the pair below or above.
Apparently the leaves are Ovate with Crenate edges.
If broken off nascent roots appear in a week or so (perhaps less) at the broken part AND at each leaf-stem joint. It seems to want to root very aggressively. I now notice roots appearing at a leaf-stem junction shown in one of the attached photos.
Any broken off parts, even a leaf, do not dry out for weeks.
It has been the same colour for about a year.
It may well be strangling the same-pot ivy as that ivy is not doing as well, by a big margin, as the one in the other pot.

We have a “lollypop” red robin, but prefer a lower bush shape. How drastic can we be in pruning this into said resultant shape?

We have a “lollypop” red robin, but prefer a lower bush shape. How drastic can we be in pruning this into said resultant shape? Can we cut down to below the current lowest branch, or will this kill the tree?
