| Yes, my coloured dots method only was meant to cover one aspect of their care. FileMaker Pro is a reasonably proced database software that is very easy to configure to your needs. Its has a wysiwyg programing feature that is very easy for those who do not know a database programing language. It would be quite easy to create a FileMaker Pro database that contained fields deliniating the cultural requirements for each perameter (light, water, humidity, etc., etc). You could then search according to cultural requirement or any combination thereof (high light, low water, intermediate temp, for example). You can also export to or import from an Excel spreadsheet.
I have used FileMaker to create a number of different databases for work, some of them quite large with thousands of records. It is available in both Mac and PC versions. It also has multiple user and relational capabilities. Let me know if you have questions about it.
