Filters for pet safety, light and care level, with trust and shortcuts above the grid
What they do
The indoor plants collection has 20 filter groups, and the useful ones answer questions a shopper may not have thought to ask. Light (happy in shade, happy in light and shade, happiest in direct sunlight). Care level (almost un-killable 46, easy to care for 103, needs some love 22). Room. Plant height in plain bands with real measurements ("Tall / 1m-2.8m"). And "Pet & child safe", with 45 plants marked yes. Above the grid the intro is one line plus a Read more that opens into links to the un-killables, the needs-some-love plants, bathroom and bedroom plants, the care guides and the Plant Doctor. The Trustpilot strip sits directly under it, then a row of shortcuts: New in, Pots, Bathroom, Bedroom, Hanging, Tall, Shade loving, Child & pet safe.
Why it works
Each filter turns a worry into a click. Plenty of people buying a plant for a flat with a cat don't search "non-toxic houseplants" first, but once they see the filter, it's the first thing they tick. The care-level and light filters do the same for "will it die in my dark hallway?". This is a way of getting a lot of buying advice onto a collection page without a wall of text. Keeping the intro to one line holds the grid near the top. The Read more still carries internal links to the sub-collections, and the shortcut row gives anyone who doesn't want filters a one-tap route to the most popular cuts. Reviews sit right at the top, so trust is settled before the first product.
Makes sense when
Your products differ on the things buyers worry about (safety, care, space, compatibility) rather than just type and price. A filter is only as good as the product data underneath it: the pet-safe counts add up to 139 against 201 results, so not every product is tagged yet, and an untagged product quietly disappears from a filtered list. Tag the range before you promote the filter.
