The houseplant care dataset — 270 species with quantitative light (Lux), watering, and temperature metrics, joined to ASPCA pet toxicity and GBIF-verified taxonomy.
Like a herbarium sheet turns a living plant into a labelled record, FloraDB turns fuzzy care advice — "bright indirect light," "water when dry" — into machine-readable Lux bands and watering intervals. Every record is graded for confidence, its toxicity is ASPCA-sourced or honestly unknown, and its name links back to GBIF so any fact can be re-verified.
One-time snapshot · CSV / SQLite / JSON · No recurring fees
Every name is matched to the GBIF Taxonomic Backbone — canonical accepted names, synonyms preserved (Sansevieria → Dracaena), and a gbif_source_url to re-verify each record.
Dog/cat determinations with clinical ingestion signs. toxicity_status is aspca_verified, conservatively genus_inferred, or unknown — we never guess "safe."
A light category maps to a standard Lux band; watering, temperature, and humidity come from plant-type norms. A care_confidence flag grades every row honestly.
