Plant Focus and Planar Focus

[Johnny Two-Legs]

Hey guys. I am trying to get planar focus on a character that is a follower of the Green Man, so I thought using the Plant Master hunter archetype would be a really cool way to get a thematic animal companion. My question though, is whether plant focus would count as animal focus for the purposes of planar focus. I don't see any rules that say it does, but it does replace animal focus and is functionally the same.

I guess what I am asking is for some good news that I don't really expect, so can plant focus work to qualify for planar focus? Thanks.

I don't think that does work unless you get animal focus from another source. There's no text in plant focus about acting like animal focus or anything like that, and planar focus is clear about requiring animal focus and adding options to it.

It'd be a reasonable house rule to let planar & plant focus work together, but RAW no.

Its definitely a clear with the GM thing. I don't think it's a massive ask, but as stated, no for RAW

Definitely what I was thinking, unfortunately. Thanks!
