LT Frond is a WooCommerce block theme for subscription boxes, shown as a houseplant club that sends a new plant, a pot that fits it and a care card every month or every two months. Its arched hero, arch-top cards, plan picker with a pot size x rhythm table, light level guide, this month's plant, care card preview and skip / pause / swap and gift sections all run on WooCommerce's own blocks. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit, so an assistant can rebrand and extend the store safely.

Store-type notes: Subscription boxes
- The plans in the demo are variable products (for example plan size × frequency), so a customer picks a plan and pays for one box at checkout.
- WooCommerce alone does not take recurring payments. For automatic renewals, skip, pause and cancel in the customer’s account, add a subscriptions plugin and set the plans up as subscription products. The theme’s “how plans work”, skip / pause / cancel and gift sections are page content that you adapt to the plugin you choose.
- Never promise automatic renewals, free cancellation or delivery dates that your set-up does not give.
AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
With the AI kit an assistant can set up your plans as variable products, update this month's plant and its care card, and rebrand the store in theme.json without breaking the block markup. It follows rules that keep subscriptions-plugin notes, sample labels and pet-safety placeholders in place until you confirm the facts.
Example prompt: Set up this LT Frond store for my houseplant club "Leaf & Loam" (sample): Small, Medium and Large plans every month at $22, $32 and $48, every 2 months at $25, $36 and $54, gift plans of 3, 6 and 12 plants, dispatch on Tuesdays, cut-off Thursday. Use the Terracotta style with my brand colour #7A3B24, update the plan picker and plan table, and write the December plant and its care card.
See AI kit for the files, the prompts and the Abilities.

Everything in the demo is sample content: products, prices, specs, reviews, addresses and opening times. Replace it with your own, or delete it, and follow the going-live checklist. Pro Unlimited: python3 tools/check-theme.py --launch in the theme folder lists every sample left.

Questions about LT Frond
Does LT Frond renew subscriptions by itself?
No. The theme shows plans, a plan picker and skip / pause / swap sections, but recurring orders and billing need a WooCommerce subscriptions plugin. Without one, each plant box is a one-off order.
How are the plans set up in the demo?
Each plan is a variable product with Pot size (Small, Medium, Large) and Frequency (every month or every 2 months) attributes, so customers pick both on the product page.
Can I sell single plants and pots next to the plans?
Yes. The demo sells single plants, pots, planters and care tools as normal products, and gift plans as a prepaid variable product.
How does the plant swap work?
The swap card explains how a customer could swap next month's plant from their account. That control comes from a subscriptions plugin; the theme shows the explainer and the plan products.
Is the pet-safety text ready to publish?
No. Pet notes in the care card, plant care questions and product descriptions are marked placeholders. Replace them with information you have checked for each plant.
Is the theme only for plant shops?
No. The sections suit any subscription box, such as flowers, seeds or coffee: rename the plan rows, the light guide and the care card, and swap the arch art.
