Pot Stake Label Key

Understand Our Pot Stake Labels

We try to provide as much information about each plant as possible, and we use shorthand to include this information on each plant’s pot stake label.

Field	Definition	Key and Notes
Genus	The plant’s genus.
Specific Epithet	The plants taxonomic classification.	Miscellaneous information, such as location data, morphological characteristics, or gender are also included here.
Producer	The original grower of the plant.	Key: FC: Florae Collaborative AW: Andreas Wistuba BCP: Best Carnivorous Plants BE: Borneo Exotics CK: Christian Klein NE: Native Exotics* EP: Exotica Plants SY: Shinya Yamada / Y’s Exotic’s *Appears on select plants formerly grown by Native Exotics.
Producer Code	The code assigned to the plant by the original producer.
Climate	The preferred growth condition of the plant	HL: Highland IH: Intermediate-Highland IN: Intermediate IL: Intermediate-Lowland LL: Lowland TM: Temperate Some plants are generalized and can grow in a variety of climates. The listed climate is not exhaustive, but rather how we grow the plant.
Propagation Method	How the plant was propagated	SG: Seed Grown TC: Tissue Culture / Micropropagation RC: Rooted Cutting BD: Basal Division LP: Leaf Pulling
Potted Date	The date of the plant’s most recent potting.
SKU	Used for internal tracking purposes only.	The astute reader might ask – For plants produced by Florae, why do you issue a Producer Code and SKU? Great question. We do this because SKU’s need to be assigned to ALL plants, not just plants produced by Florae.

The amount of information on each pot stake label varies.
