The following flags can be set in any objects individually or together:

no_image: object is not visible directly, but produces shadows and is visible in
reflections

no_reflection:  object is visible, but not in reflections

no_shadow: object does not produce a shadow


In your case it looks like you would want to add the no_image and no_reflection
flags to your plane.

See 3.4.9.7 & 3.4.9.9 of the docs for more info.
