Flower Cultivation publishes plant-care and flower-meaning articles. This policy sets the standard for reviewing and updating that material; it does not certify that every archive entry already meets the standard.
Plant identity and growing conditions
Use botanical names when they can be verified. Keep uncertain trade names explicit rather than assigning an unsupported species. Recommendations should explain relevant growing conditions instead of promising the same result in every climate or container.
Evidence and experience
Specific factual claims should have a source that supports them. Horticultural institutions, university extension publications and primary records are preferred where appropriate. Do not present an unperformed growing trial, measurement or personal observation as evidence.
Flower meanings and legends
Name the dictionary, text or cultural source being discussed. Distinguish that source from a modern gift suggestion. Unverified stories, fixed personality claims and promises of health or good fortune should not be presented as facts.
Updating the archive
For an existing published article, preserve its address and original publication date while revising its content. Keep an internal record of the changed article and its sources. Source links indicate the material consulted for the relevant statements, not an endorsement by the source institution.
