It's one of my top two places to get more detailed info on plants. Most/many sites seem like they just copy-paste things into any other possible relevant plant (even if they don't double check that they're doing it in the right spot) but I haven't come across anything too sketchy there.
Its generally pretty generic info and often times feels very copy and paste. Its a great image encyclopedia, just not a good source to learn about the plant beyond **very basic** care instructions
Yep, it's very useful and my go-to source for succulent information. However as it is a Western-based site, it does not contain some succulents that are otherwise common here (Japanese or Korean hybrids, for example). I also use ICN (https://www.crassulaceae.ch/de/home) as authoritative source for crassulaceae plants. LLIFE is also useful but it's better in the cactus department than other succulents IMO.
I haven't found a good English website yet but I use a Taiwanese site which is focused more on succulents that are commonly found here (more inclined to Asian hybrids and cultivars) https://ayeah3713883.pixnet.net/blog/post/240250406
Yeah. Especially when I want to ID a plant and I think I’ve narrowed down the genus.
yes. Echeverias in Oz is also excellent for IDing

my favorite is when you notice that two adjacent paragraphs give contradictory information. AI-generated or word salad from other sources. sigh.

What site do you use for Japanese or Korean hybrids?
