# Household Plant Fit

> Filter a small sourced plant catalog by light, care effort and cat/dog listing. Compare twenty-four identified houseplants by light, space and care effort, with scientific-name aliases and species-specific ASPCA/RHS references.

Part of usefulweb.app (https://usefulweb.app/). Part of [Hearth](https://hearth.usefulweb.app/) (ownerApp: hearth). Results are deterministic calculations from the inputs and the listed assumptions; the API returns exactly what the web page shows.

## Use it
- Human interface: https://hearthplantfit.usefulweb.app/ (interactive tool at https://hearthplantfit.usefulweb.app/tool)
- JSON API: POST https://hearthplantfit.usefulweb.app/api/v1/calculate with a JSON object of inputs (schema: https://hearthplantfit.usefulweb.app/api/v1/tool)
- OpenAPI: https://hearthplantfit.usefulweb.app/openapi.json
- MCP (Streamable HTTP): https://hearthplantfit.usefulweb.app/mcp - tool `hearth_plant_fit`

## Inputs
- light (select): Light conditions
- care (select): Maximum care effort
- pets (boolean): Only ASPCA-listed non-toxic choices for cats and dogs
- space (select): Space
- query (text): Plant name or scientific alias

## Method
- Catalog updated 2026-11-05: twenty-four identified species, species-specific ASPCA entries and linked RHS cultivation guidance. Scientific aliases preserve the scope of the source classification.
- Bright means indirect light. Care effort and space categories are editorial filters, not measured requirements. Non-toxic is an ASPCA cat/dog listing; it does not mean edible or suitable for every animal.
- Care reminders should prompt checking the plant and growing medium, not watering on a fixed schedule. The catalog is not an identification or ingestion-advice tool.
