How do I edit the location of a photo. Photo taken at home of plant material but the location of the live plant is elsewhere. iNat has used my home location as photo meta-data.

On Android (which you seem to be using), go to the observation, then edit (the pen icon), then tap the location text field, it will open a map where you can drag the target to select your location, then validate with the check icon on the top right. You can zoom in and out increase/decrease the location accuracy parameter.
