Our Editorial Policy
FloraOddity exists to publish useful, understandable, and carefully researched information about unusual and carnivorous plants.
Our goal is not to publish the largest number of articles possible. We would rather publish fewer useful guides than fill the site with repetitive content that does not help the reader solve a real problem.
How We Research
Depending on the topic, our research may include university extension publications, horticultural institutions, botanical and scientific literature, specialist growers, established horticultural resources, and primary sources where appropriate.
Community discussions may help us understand the questions and problems growers commonly encounter, but community anecdotes are not automatically treated as authoritative evidence.
How We Handle Conflicting Advice
Plant-care advice is not always universal. Different species can have different environmental preferences, and growers may use different techniques successfully under different conditions.
When credible sources disagree, we aim to explain the difference rather than hide it. Recommendations based primarily on specialist experience are identified as such when relevant.
Fact Checking
We review factual claims before publication and try to distinguish established information from practical recommendations or grower observations. When a recommendation depends strongly on species, hybrid, climate, or growing setup, we try to say so.
AI-Assisted Content
FloraOddity may use AI-assisted tools during research, drafting, editing, organization, and visual creation.
AI-generated text or images are not treated as automatically accurate. Published content is subject to editorial review, and factual claims are checked against appropriate sources before publication.
Updates and Corrections
Plant-care information can change as better information becomes available. When we find a meaningful factual error or outdated recommendation, we may update the relevant page.
Readers can report potential errors through our Contact page.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is developed independently. Where commercial relationships, affiliate links, sponsored content, or other forms of monetization are introduced, the relevant relationship will be disclosed where appropriate.
