Check the plant’s expected size, light, water and seasonal needs. Match those needs to the space you have rather than buying only for the display photograph.
Compare usable quantities

Plan ongoing care
Consider watering, access, storage and replacement supplies. Check delivery guidance for living plants and how the retailer handles a problem on arrival.
