Live demo: Alocasia · Potted · Artificial · 160cm — Hortology

The Hortology Alocasia — 160cm, lifelike broad arrow-shaped leaves — in full 3D

Scroll down to spin the product yourself⬇

Problem one

It stands 160cm tall with wide arrow-shaped leaves — will it actually fit?

The Alocasia spreads its large, upright leaves in every direction. A flat photo can't convey that footprint — so the customer hesitates over whether it fits beside the sofa, in the office reception, in the hallway. And a hesitating customer doesn't buy.

Problem two

"Do the leaves look realistic up close?" — your most common question

You answer it in writing on the product page. With 3D, the customer simply checks for themselves: zooming into the leaf texture and veining, the detail of every leaf, the stems — and convincing themselves with their own eyes.

Problem three

The competition is already there

IKEA, Wayfair and Amazon have already rolled out AR for home and plant products. Shoppers feel the gap in experience — and the brand that leads the artificial-plant category in the UK can lead here too.

Why it works

The advantage a static photo
simply can't deliver

🪴

The customer understands
the product before it arrives

With artificial plants, detail is everything. When the customer can spin the Alocasia, zoom into the broad leaves, examine the texture and the stems, and check it suits their space — they buy with complete confidence.

A competitive edge
that's hard to copy

Hortology serves design-led homeowners and interior specifiers alike. A 3D viewer is exactly the tool that closes those decisions: instead of a flat catalogue image, the customer sees the plant in their own space before ordering — and commits with confidence.

Augmented reality · WebAR

The Alocasia in their
space. Right now.

A customer opens the product page on their phone, taps "View in my room" — and the Alocasia appears in their camera feed, at its true 160cm height, in their own space. They're in full control: moving it to any corner, changing the angle, walking around it in 360°.

The dimensions are completely true to life — including the full spread of its broad leaves. The customer sees exactly whether it fits in the hallway or by the sofa, and zooms in to inspect the texture — just like visiting a showroom.

It's not a gimmick. It's doubt removal — the single action that shortens the path to purchase the most.
