Plant QR Codes#
In GroBase, each plant is assigned a unique QR code that provides quick and convenient access to that plant’s details. By scanning a plant’s QR code, you can immediately navigate to the plant’s page.
These QR codes can be generated in either PNG or SVG format, giving you flexibility to save and print them. When you’re managing plants in a physical space, QR codes offer an efficient and easy way to connect directly with plant data.
QR Code Options#
GroBase offers two QR Code options for your convenience:
Basic QR Code: A simple, ready-to-use QR code without customization.
Custom QR Code: Personalize your QR code with options to tailor colors and design for a unique look.
