The recommendations for the winter hardiness zone of each species can give you a rough idea of the temperature range that the plant can tolerate. However, bear in mind that there may be differences in resistance within a species and that the information on the subspecies may be more specific.
The botanical name will tell you the genus and family of the plant, which can give you a general idea of its nutritional preferences. However, the specific requirements may vary from subspecies to subspecies or from variety to variety, so you should always check:
Determine from the botanical name whether the plant is annual, biennial or perennial. Also take into account the growth form (e.g. shrub, tree, herb) to plan the appropriate support structures and care measures.
Remember that while the botanical name provides a standardised way of identifying a plant, detailed information about subspecies or varieties can provide a more nuanced insight into specific adaptations or characteristics.

 Shows all plants with matching pH and Ec range. If you click on the question mark, the values of this plant are used as a filter for the newly displayed selection. You will then be shown the range (corridor) in which the plant is known to thrive. For more details, please hold the mouse pointer over the question mark.
 pH tolerance: Longer bar = greater tolerance. The shorter the bar, the more precisely the pH value must be maintained.
 Ec tolerance: Longer bar = greater tolerance. The shorter the bar, the more precisely the Ec value must be maintained.

b) Please note that botanical names can be very specific and that there may be different varieties or cultivars within these general categories.
1) Also show inappropriate pH and Ec results. As each variety shows large deviations, the grower must test for himself.
2) Not yet successfully grown in hydroponics.
3) The amount of fertiliser varies greatly depending on the variety.
5) Double entry. Example: Carrot and mouse.
Var. "Var." is an abbreviation for the botanical term ‘variety’. In botanical classification, a variety is a taxonomic rank below the species and subspecies, but above the forms. It is used to designate a variant within a species that has different characteristics but is not different enough to be considered a separate species. In the botanical name ‘Brassica oleracea var. capitata’, ‘var.’ means for example, means that it is a variant of the species ‘Brassica oleracea’. The specific variety in this case is ‘capitata’, which refers to a specific variant or cultivar of the species, such as a particular variety of cabbage.
Spp."Spp." is an abbreviation for the Latin term ‘species’ in the plural. It is used in scientific nomenclature to indicate that the term refers to more than one species within a particular genus.
