Propagating Spider Plants to Sell – Easy Money

Do you have a greenhouse, a garage with windows, or some free space with natural light to protect you from the winter weather? If you do, the space can be used to earn money. The business is to grow plants from cuttings, you can get the benefits a few months later and more than 90% of this will be profit.

If you’re just starting out, I suggest you try this on a small scale and build on from there. A good number to start with is 20 to 50 cuttings. You must decide which plant to propagate. My advice to beginners would be to take the most common and easiest plant to grow initially and experiment after you’ve successfully grown and sold your first batch.

The best plant for beginners is the spider plant, many houses have them and they are the easiest to grow as they automatically produce ‘little’ spider plants for you to pick and pot. You cannot stop successfully propagating these plants. Plus, they are one of the best-selling indoor plants, so don’t worry about subsequent sales.

All you need are some plastic pots, some potting compost, a tray to hold the pots, and a well-ventilated, frost-free area where there is natural light, not direct sunlight.

You can get spider plant cuttings without friends and family who might have these plants that easily sprout the cuttings. Or you can buy some mature plants and wait a couple of months for the cuttings. Even hair salons, dentists, medical surgeries and many other stores have these plants, you can ask them if they want a free pruning service, most will be happy if you do.

Just place the pots on the tray and cover the pots with compost to firm it up, though not too firm. Then pour water into each pot to soak it and leave it overnight. The next day, insert your finger into the center of the compost to a depth of about 3 cm, place the cutting in the hole made and firm the moist compost around the base of the plant. It’s as simple as that.

You should now let the plants establish their rooting system for the next several months before you start selling them. The only job you need to do now is make sure they don’t dry out. The tip is to water just before it dries; this, of course, depends on the environmental climate.

You now have spider plants ready for sale. Take a look at the cost at the garden centers and cut them, you’ll get your money back on the cost of the pots and compost after selling just a couple.

Trunk sales are the best place to sell them, perhaps wholesaling to other carburetors for sale is a great way to make a quick and profitable catch with the least amount of work involved.
