Just sold off this beauty because it was outgrowing my space. Took some cuttings so looking forward to starting it again 😊

      Yes! I sold it for $25 on Facebook Marketplace :) Was willing to do a “lower” initial price because the plant, as beautiful as it was, was really beginning to outgrow my space

      TXS for your reply! I have quite a few baby plants that I’ve started, and have been wondering what I should do with them. This sounds like it might be a good place to start! Any other tips? TIA!

      Yeah! Honestly I try to sell relatively easy to care for plants for my market of people. I don’t really have the means to do a lot of alocasias or anthuriums and mostly just do pothos, syngoniums and some monsteras. I try to do a variety of prices too. Mostly between $5-$20 depending on size and rarity of plant. Hope is to get some monstera albo plants, not cuttings, going and sell those for around $35-40 a piece. So it’s also about variety. A grow cabinet is also a MUST (well in my opinion at least lol). It greatly increases your capacity to grow cuttings. Right now I can fit about 20 plants a rack if I arrange it well so even if I’m selling a lot of them at $5, it’ll add up quickly. And last thing to keep this from being an exhaustive list, is to have good customer service. Be sure to be approachable, responsive, and clear. Each person you interact with is different too so just correspond in a way that works well.

      Was definitely a good deal! But also it was eating my space up and needed it gone ASAP 😂 To be honest too, if it had been a more rare plant I probably would’ve sold it higher but for me in Chicago area, this one is pretty common although not typically this mature
