## What is Botanical Curator?

Genetic Tracking for Serious Plant Breeders

Growing plants is a test of ultimate patience. When it takes three to five years for a Clivia or Haworthia seedling selection to mature, a faded marker or a lost greenhouse notebook can set your hybridizing program back by half a decade.

This is the Botanical Curator. The first-ever dedicated digital Clivia and Haworthia lineage database engineered specifically for specialist breeders. Move past chaotic spreadsheets and fading physical labels. Securely map parentage, track complex genetic traits, log intraspecific and interspecific crosses, and document generations of ancestry.

Key Features:
1. Detailed Botanical Inventory
Botanically Accurate Specifications: Categorize your collection using precise botanical features, including flower form, leaf characteristics and more.
Photo Timeline Gallery: Maintain high-resolution, dated photos of your specimen plants, offsets, and mature blooms.

2. Advanced Cross & Pedigree Management
Clean Lineage Integration: Log your manual pollination efforts with designated Seed Parent and Pollen Parent records.
Breeding Code Generation: Instantly assign custom cross codes (e.g., CC-2026-01) to seed flats, track germination rates, and follow seedling development.

3. Bloom Analytics & Tracking
Flowering Calendars: Record historical blooming dates to spot annual patterns.
Pollination Windows: Track active flowering timelines to sync your pollen collection windows, ensuring you never miss a prime breeding opportunity.

4. Absolute Data Privacy & Security
Zero Subscriptions or Third-Party Servers: Your physical inventory data is yours alone. Botanical Curator stores all information completely locally on your device.
Google Drive Syncing: Keep your data safe from accidental water damage in the greenhouse. Your database seamlessly backs up to your private Google Drive account. Nobody can snoop on your secret crosses.
CSV Import/Export: Easily move existing Excel or Google Sheets records into the app, or export your ledger into standard CSV formats for sharing or desktop editing.

Simple, Transparent Pricing
Botanical Curator is designed to help your collection grow. You pay once, and the app is unlocked forever. No monthly subscriptions, no hidden cloud server fees, and no microtransactions. A single one-time purchase unlocks infinite plant slots, full CSV utility tools, and the complete capacity of your hybridizing database.

Professionalize your greenhouse inventory management today. Keep your lineage lines clear, your pedigree calculations exact, and your botanical history secure with Botanical Curator.
