Archive
The archive holds every finished page of the reference, arranged by the year it was prepared. Each entry has a date and a main topic, and the filter above the list helps you quickly narrow it down to what you need. If you remember reading about watering or about cat-safe plants but cannot remember where, the archive will help you find the page in a minute. Within each year, entries run from newest to oldest, so the latest is always in view.
The archive is an inventory of what has already grown on our windowsill. There are no drafts or promises here, only pages you can open and read to the end.
How the archive works: a page appears in the list only after it has been finished and checked. Each entry is given one main topic so that the filter stays simple and predictable. When an article is updated, the archive keeps its new date, and earlier versions are not stored separately. The tags match the sections of the reference: “placement” covers everything about choosing a plant and the right window, “watering” covers water, light and seasonal changes, “repotting” covers pots, potting mix, feeding and cuttings, and “health” covers pests, quarantine and keeping plants safe for children and animals. Choose a tag and only the entries with it will remain in the list; to see everything again, press the “All topics” button. If the page you need is not here yet, look in the feed of new pages or in the collections: there, articles are grouped not by date but by everyday situation, for example a dark room or a home with a cat.
