eclayne said:Perhaps we could discuss appropriate equivalents as I've noticed centimeters are usually rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. Is this correct?


Yes, that is correct Eclayne!

zuzu said:Myriam, your breakdown wouldn't work because we don't think in terms of inches after the first 24 or so.

Ok Zuzu I understand your arguments!

Thank you Jonna, for giving the approximate value conversions! I don't think a more accurate one is needed concerning height and width of a plant, they vary anyway according to growing conditions.

So maybe if an automatic conversion is impossible, then its probably better to keep things like they are. Hilarious!
in fact I do know the approximate conversion values of inches and feet into cm, I only need two in this case; inches and feet...( one foot is about 30cm I think..)
