Floragora's plant-swapping feature is a game-changer, allowing you to trade plants with other members without ever having to leave your home if you agree to swap via postal service. But often, it is much more fun to meet up and exchange plants. In the main feed, you can browse through the other members’ plants, add your own collection for others to see, and propose a plant swap with just a few taps on your phone. Interact with other members by liking and commenting on the posts. Get notified when another member accepts your swap request. And sort out the details from our private message feature. The app's wish list feature lets you add plants you're interested in and get notified when a member is willing to swap or sell the plant, according to your preferences for how to exchange the plants (via mail or in person).
