Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some plants being sold in Switzerland came without a small paper tag called a “plant passport.” This tag shows the plant is safe and legal to sell.

What's happening? The plants were missing the tag when they arrived in Switzerland. The seller has now fixed the problem.

Does this affect me? If you bought plants recently, check if they have the tag. If not, you can still keep or plant them.

What should I do? Ask your local garden shop or a plant expert if your plants are safe to use.
