Clean front view
Place the exact plant in soft light against a plain white or plain black background and keep the whole plant visible.
Seller photo standards
Photograph the plant you are selling
The rule is simple: the exact plant, in a current photo, on a plain white or plain black background — nothing else. Never an internet image or an old photo.
Avoid clutter and shadows
Move furniture and personal items out of frame and soften hard shadows.
Do not hide the condition
Do not crop damaged leaves or use a flattering angle that conceals flaws.
Add honest detail photos
Include clear close-ups of leaves, stems, pot and any damage.
Primary photo
Straight-on, full plant, plain white or plain black background, soft light, no filters.
Condition details
Show leaves, stems, pot and every flaw or damaged area clearly.
