Pinterest keywords for Etsy plant and garden sellers

Ask a gardener what they want and they will describe the spot first: shade bed, balcony, windowsill. Pinterest searches follow the same pattern ("shade loving perennials zone 5", "balcony herb garden ideas"), so say where something grows and when it goes in.

Using them in pin titles and descriptions

• Use the common plant name in the title and the botanical name in the description, since keen gardeners search by both.
• Mention light and space ("low light", "for balcony") in the title when it helps someone picture it at home.
• For live plants, state the pot size, whether it ships with soil and any regions you cannot ship to.
• Pin seed and bulb products ahead of planting time with the season named.

Pinterest allows titles up to 100 characters, and only the first 40 or so may show in feeds (Pinterest product specs), so put the main keyword first.

A keyword mistake to avoid

Avoid promises like "grows anywhere" or "impossible to kill": conditions vary, and buyers who search by growing zone want honest care needs. Give light, water and hardiness details instead.
