How to read the plant files

01

01 · Measure

Start with the window, not the wishlist

Pick the spot first: north hallway, east shelf, south sill, or two metres back from glass. The light tier gives you a sane shortlist before care preferences enter the room.

Room first · product second
02

02 · Match

Choose the tier the plant can live with

Use LOW, MED, BRIGHT INDIRECT, or DIRECT as the first filter. A beautiful plant in the wrong tier becomes a maintenance problem; a matched plant becomes calm.

LOW / MED / BRIGHT INDIRECT / DIRECT
03

03 · Keep

Then check care tolerance

Once light is honest, compare watering need, humidity preference, pet safety, and forgiveness. That is where the plant file turns browsing into a decision.

Watering · humidity · pet safety · forgiveness

Find your match

Light is the first cut. After that, choose the domestic constraint that actually changes your shortlist.

One big statement plant

A bigger plant still starts with the measured spot.

[5] The point

Measured, not guessed. Brightness Based is built on the conviction that a plant's relationship with light is photometric, not poetic — and that a serious shop owes you the numbers behind every variety it sells.
