The Collection of Plants

It seems that my younger brother is into planting and displaying his craft of doing it. In time, he will be going to sell them one by one. Before he does, I took a photo to remember these lovely plants in his small garden. During this pandemic, some locals are doing the same venture in selling online or offline. In the back of my mind, it will be feasible as a business not only during the pandemic but after as well. Are you a plant lover? Do you want to sell your collected plants?

Nice display of plants. I like especially those driftwoods since they are quite a nice decor for my aquarium too. I have this hobby of decorating my aquarium with that driftwood to attached some of my aquatic plants there.

@Shavkat For aquariums, those woods are also marketable since they can add as decors for their aquarium.

I heard that he is planning to sell them as a package deal. He had used bamboo sticks to build the shelves for the plants of his.

@rsa101 I think it is a good idea. I am not sure if my younger brother will indulge in decorating aquariums.

I do have a selling skill but it has been a long time that I did this. The only thing that I can do is to sell myself to my online students.

The question is, 'Did they give you some of their plants?'

@dya80dya I think it is nice to have some plants on the balcony. Sad to say, they are not mine. It's my brother's.

Wow! That's quite beautiful! I like bonsai. During the pandemic, we tried to plant some vegetables but it didn't go very successfully. But it is fun anyway. As to selling my own plants, it is not possible for me as I regard planting as one of my hobbies. I don't want to use it to make money as I am not sure whether others will treat my plants well enough.

@Shavkat Here since the real estates price is very crazy, so it is hard to imagine to have a garden in a city.

@youless I heard that they are expensive there. I learned from my Chinese students.

We used to plant some veggies in our old house. In this new place of ours, it is hard to plant and nurture them. The reason is that space is not enough for this brilliant idea.

I'm a plant lover but I've never had quite that many at one time. No room for them. If he can make a business of it more power to him. When I buy plants most go into the ground so, no, I won't be selling them.

I do want to be surrounded by plants in the garden. If there is a chance to do gardening and planting, I will do them without a doubt. I am hoping that he will make it through with this venture. Nursery of plants can be the best idea for him.

I enjoy raising my plants. But I sell other stuff, like guitar coasters and vintage loudspeakers I've restored.

If I have enough time, I would want to raise plants. For now, it is better to focus on selling myself to students online.

It will take a lot of time and patience to have some plants in the garden or house. If I have more than one or two of the same kind, I can sell them.

I like flowering plants, aloe and broadleaf plantain. 2 herbs. I buy plants. Only my broadleaf plantain, I picked from a clean spot on an appointment we were on. Good idea for money making if you've a green thumb.

I do agree with you that it will be profitable if a person has a gift to reproduce his or her plants in the garden.

@oahuwriter I agree. It is also a good idea to have some plants inside the house during the summer season. They can absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen.

@Shavkat Plants bring oxygen to Earth, can be protection like a barrier between road & home with hedges so much use for plants. Flowers brings beauty.
