Never forget your plant care routine again! This project creates professional-looking plant labels that display plant names, scientific names, and visual care symbols showing water and light requirements at a glance.

Two Ways to Use

🌱 Single Labels (Easy): Download the OpenSCAD file, open it, customize your plant info using the built-in interface, and export to STL. Perfect for a few plants - no programming needed!

🏭 Batch Processing (Many Plants): Use the included Python script to generate dozens of labels at once from a spreadsheet. Just edit the CSV file with your plant collection and run the script.
