Choose filters and click generate
A random plant generator selects plant names from a curated list so gardeners, teachers, and creators can skip manual list-making. It is designed for prompts and activities—not as a nursery catalog, climate zone database, or care schedule planner.
This Muxgen tool runs in your browser: set plant-count (default 1), pick plant type and sunlight need filters, toggle Allow duplicate plants, generate, and copy. No account and no server upload for your picks.
Three simple steps from filters to copy-ready plant names.
Enter plant-count (default 1), pick a Plant type chip from 5 options, and choose a Sunlight need chip from 4 options.
Toggle Allow duplicate plants for repeats up to 100, or turn it off for unique-only batches capped by the filtered pool count.
Click Generate Plant, review plant cards with type · sun · difficulty tags, then Copy to clipboard for notes, slides, or chat.
Every control in the random plant generator component.
Number input min 1 — max 100 with duplicates on, or maxBatchForPlantSettings when duplicates off. Default 1.
5 toggle buttons from PLANT_TYPE_FILTER_OPTIONS — default All.
4 toggle buttons from SUN_NEED_FILTER_OPTIONS — default All.
Checked by default — enables repeated plants and raises max count to 100. Unchecked uses a usedIndices Set for unique picks.
Live filteredPool.length from filterPlants — updates when plant type or sunlight need changes; disables generate at zero.
Primary button — plural label when count > 1; disabled when filtered pool is empty.
Right panel shows emerald cards with plant name and type · sun · difficulty tags, or empty state "Choose filters and click generate" with leaf emoji.

How plant type, sunlight need, and Allow duplicate plants interact.
Full 20-plant pool — max 20 unique picks or 100 with duplicates.
Houseplants (6), Flowers (6), Trees (4), Herbs (4) — sunlight need still applies.
Low sun (4), Medium sun (6), High sun (10) — plant type still applies.
Easy (12) and Moderate (8) tags appear on cards; filters do not hide difficulty—only type and sun narrow the pool.
Same plant can repeat — ideal for dice rolls, weighted rounds, or large sample sizes up to 100.
Unique plants only — actualCount = min(count, filteredPool.length); no index reuse within a batch.
