20 How Gardening & Plant Merchants Can Use WeiCity: From Plant Display to Customer Purchases

“Is this plant suitable for indoor placement?”

“The balcony gets strong afternoon sun. What can I grow there?”

“Are there any plants that are easy to care for?”

“Can I buy pots and soil together?”

“Do you offer delivery and planting at home?”

When choosing plants, customers usually look at appearance first, then confirm the placement environment, size, care needs, and delivery arrangements.

💡 With WeiCity, you can build your own merchant channel and organize your plants, gardening supplies, and service information, so customers can learn first and then contact you to confirm the best choice for them.

💡 For high-value plants or plants with significant variation in form, you can display each pot with its own number so customers can confirm the specific plant.

📌 Images should indicate whether they show the current item, a reference from the same batch, or a past case; sold single pots should have their status updated promptly.

You can ask customers to provide:

🔶 For example:

“Please share photos of the placement location, light conditions, and available space, and we will introduce suitable reference plants based on the actual environment.”

💡 “Indoor plants” still have specific light requirements, so understanding site conditions first makes it easier to choose together.

📌 A suitable variety for reference does not mean it will grow well in every environment; actual condition is still affected by light, temperature, ventilation, and care.
