Plant swap platform (pflaenz.li)

I love the new community!

I created a website to swap plants, however it currently only works in Switzerland really (due to zipcode locaiton lookup). But I would like to extend it to more countries, at least in Europe. Feel free to have a look at https://pflaenz.li and test/use it for yourself!

It is open source and you can contribute and look at the code on https://git.thisfro.ch/pflaenz.li/pflaenz.li

Also any feedback is very welcome! <3

Hi all,

I realize I haven't sorted this community yet, but I am cutting back my Monsteras this weekend and have a bunch of nodes (some with leaves) to give away. Happy to trade or send out to those who are just starting (with some goodies) for shipping and handling.

Peace.

Sneak Peak (self.plantswap)

As the first post here's a sneak peak to one of the plants that I could potentially swap:

Common name: Pitcher Plant
Genus: Sarracenia
Species: Sarracenia purpurea (my best guess)

The biggest ones are currently about the size of a 50ml travel-size hand lotion

honestly I'm surprised they even got this big cause of the climate I'm in :D
posting from Canada🇨🇦 btw!
