Why is plant photography different?

Because the item photographed is guaranteed not to be the item shipped. Every specimen differs and keeps changing after delivery.

Should I photograph my best plant?

No. A representative specimen sets an expectation the average order can actually meet, which is what prevents complaints.

How do I communicate size?

Pot diameter, a scale reference, or the plant in a room. Plants photographed alone are consistently imagined much larger.

Say so explicitly either way. It is one of the most frequent confusions in the category and costs nothing to resolve.

Can I show it flowering?

Only with a clear note that flowering depends on season, since a plant shown in bloom will often arrive without flowers.

Does lighting matter for foliage?

Honest light matters. Flattering backlight makes a plant look lusher than the one that arrives, and leaf colour is compared directly.

What about rare specimens?

Photograph the actual plant being sold, since at that price the buyer is purchasing one specific specimen rather than a type.

Is the free generation really free?

Yes. One per day, watermarked and capped at 1024px. Signing up gives you 20 credits and clean full-resolution files with full commercial rights.

Why this is worth getting right

Plants are the one retail category where the item photographed is guaranteed not to be the item shipped, because every specimen is different and continues changing after it arrives. That makes representativeness the central obligation: photographing the most impressive plant in the batch sets an expectation the average order cannot meet, and the resulting disappointment is the dominant complaint in the category. Choosing a typical specimen and saying plainly that plants vary is both more honest and better for retention. Size is the second issue and the most commonly misjudged, since a plant photographed alone gives no scale and buyers routinely receive something much smaller than imagined — showing the pot diameter, a scale reference, or the plant in a room solves it directly, and pot size is the specification the trade actually uses. Whether the pot shown is included is a specific and frequent confusion worth resolving explicitly. Foliage condition needs honest light, because a plant photographed in flattering backlight looks lusher than the same plant on a shelf, and leaf colour is what a buyer will compare on arrival. Flowering is the most misleading element of all: a plant photographed in bloom will very often arrive without flowers depending on season, and saying so prevents a complaint that is otherwise guaranteed.

Tips that actually help

Photograph a representative specimen rather than the best in the batch, since the average order cannot meet that expectation.
Show pot diameter or a scale reference, because plants photographed alone are routinely imagined much larger.
State explicitly whether the pot shown is included, which is a frequent and easily avoided confusion.
Say plainly that plants vary, as it is honest and it prevents the dominant complaint in the category.
Be careful with flowering imagery, since a plant shown in bloom will often arrive without flowers depending on season.

Who uses this

Houseplant retailers: Categories where size misjudgement and specimen variation drive complaints.
Nurseries and garden centres: Trade sizing conventions where pot size is the specification.
Rare and collector plants: High-value specimens where condition photography is the purchase basis.
Gift plants: Where presentation and pot are part of what is bought.
