Growing Potted Plants

December 30, 2006

Do you have green fingers? With a little room and a bit of effort you can produce potted plants for sale. You can grow from seed, buy in seedlings, propagate using cuttings. There is an almost insatiable desire by people to have plants for their gardens or inside their homes. You can fulfil this need.

How do you sell your plants? There are several avenues open to you. Plants can be sold at every stage of their development. If you grow from seed then you can sell them as soon as you have produced strong tiny plants called ‘plugs’. You could buy plugs and bring them on ready for the garden or pot. You can obtain good sturdy plants from which to take cuttings to produce yet more of the same. You will see that there are many stages at which people will want them.

Who will buy? Mail order customers depending on ability to package various plants. Local stores – wherever you think there could be an outlet for your produce. Garden Centres are always on the lookout for extra plants and/or something a little different. Even from your own driveway if you put out signs and display your plants.

This business will fit in well around your everyday life. It will also fit in well in the smallest of spaces – depending on what you choose to do. There is also a good chance to expand.
