Hi Dave,

I'm working on the database this morning and would like a few more additions to the Parent Plant Calibrachoa:
Deadheading Recommended: No
Leaves: Evergreen
Propagation Seeds: Will not come true from seed; Other "Seeds are often sterile"
Uses: Suitable as an Annual; Groundcover; Attracts Bees, Butterflies and Hummingbirds
Containers: Suitable in 1 gallon; Suitable in for Hanging Basket; Needs excellent drainage in pots

I noticed that the common names mentioned in above posts are not applied. Is that work in progress?

Thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,

I got the common name issue fixed up and they have now all been applied.

As for the databox additions you requested, you do want those values then copied down to all the matching children plants, right?

Thanks Dave,

Yes, It would be great to have those values on the parent and copied down to the children. Are you adding "Suitable for Hanging Basket" the Containers section of the datasheet?
Also, the option of suitable for 3 gal should be unchecked for all

Did I mis-read your first post when I added 3 gallon suitability for these?

Not sure, it may have been miss-communication from me. I think the plants are too small individually to say that they are suitable for 3 gal +
But I do think it is a useful option for many annuals to have a selection of suitable for Hanging Baskets

I've added the items you've requested to be added, including the new option for hanging baskets.

Removing the 3 gallon containers from all the children plants will require a script to be written. I'll do that later this morning.
