- Auth: none declared

Everything about one plant in Dubai: ratings, size, sun and water, seasonal calendar, watering in summer and winter, soil, feeding, pruning, pests, common mistakes, varieties, design use, FAQ, photos with credits and sources. Houseplants also get an "Indoors in Dubai" profile: light, tolerance of dry air and air conditioning, pet safety, size, suitable rooms and how easy the plant is to find. Accepts a slug or any name the plant goes by (common, trade, botanical including older names, Arabic, or a local name in its own script or Latin letters); the result lists them all under "Also known as". Read-only. You can also POST a JSON body with the same fields to this URL.

## Query parameters

- `plant` string, required
- `format` 'json' | 'markdown'

## Response `200`

The result. Every plant, guide, style or month in it carries its canonical `url` for citation.

## Other responses
