First of all in your main function you ask for the information for the 1st plant and you set that to all the plants.

I think your error must be in mistypes because what it's basically telling you is that there is no such file

In your main driver:

Should be
#include "Plants.h"
not
#include "Plants.cpp"

In your header you are missing a semicolon after your last curly brace. Also might want to start now with #include guards, makes for a good practice.

After these changes it compiles and runs just fine(g++). What compiler are you using? Seems like an issue with your IDE looking in the wrong directory for your executable.
