Prices compare like with like: a listing is only matched to another when it is the same plant and the same form, so a tissue culture cup is never priced against a potted plant. A shop that is out of stock never counts as “cheaper”.

One shop being out of stock is ordinary. These are counted separately because a one-shop plant has no fallback — there is nowhere else we track to buy it.

Price history has been recording for 1 day across 1,974 listings. Lowest-price badges start appearing once a listing has 14 days behind it — a “lowest ever” drawn from two days of data would be a coincidence, not a finding.
