Understanding Category 6762
The Indoor & Outdoor Plants category, identified by ID 6762, covers a broad range of living botanical specimens intended for decorative or landscaping purposes. This category resides at the third level of the Google taxonomy, sitting directly under the main Plants parent category.
What Belongs Here
This category is intended for live greenery that does not fit into more specialized botanical groupings. Examples from the US market include:
- Popular houseplant varieties such as Snake Plants, Peace Lilies, and Spider Plants.
- Tropical foliage like Philodendron, Calathea, and Alocasia species.
- Various succulent arrangements, blooming cacti, and hanging vines like String of Hearts.
- Air plants and specific boutique foliage like Syngonium.
What Belongs Elsewhere
Do not use this category for items that fall under neighbouring plant classifications. Use the specific categories for Flowers (cut arrangements), Seeds, Aquatic Plants (for tanks), Trees, or Plant & Herb Growing Kits if the product is meant to be cultivated from scratch. If a product is for large-scale landscaping or specific shrubbery, check if it fits the Bushes & Shrubs or Landscaping & Garden Plants subcategories instead.
When to Use Subcategories
Always opt for a more specific subcategory if your inventory consists strictly of Potted Houseplants, Bushes & Shrubs, or Landscaping & Garden Plants to ensure the highest search relevance.
Implementation
In your feed, use the numeric ID 6762 or the full path string: Home & Garden > Plants > Indoor & Outdoor Plants. While providing this attribute is optional, it is highly recommended because manual classification prevents Google from incorrectly categorizing your living inventory.
