everything you need to get started growing and selling your own Swiss cheese plants
Swiss cheese plants, also known as Monstera deliciosa, are a popular and easy-to-care-for houseplant that can be propagated in water using mason jars.
Here are a few tips for successfully selling propagated Swiss cheese plants in mason jars:
- Make sure the plants are healthy: Before selling your propagated Swiss cheese plants, ensure that they are healthy and well-established. This means that they should have at least a few leaves, and should be free of pests and diseases.
- Use clear mason jars: Clear mason jars allow potential buyers to see the roots of the plant, which can be a selling point. Clear mason jars also allow for sunlight to reach the plant, which is necessary for its growth.
- Use clean water: Make sure the water in the mason jars is clean and free of debris. A cloudy or dirty jar of water can be a turn-off for potential buyers.
- Label the jars: Label the jars with the plant’s common and scientific name, as well as any care instructions. This can help educate the buyer and make them feel more confident in their purchase.
- Price appropriately: Consider the cost of the materials and your time when pricing your propagated Swiss cheese plants. It’s also a good idea to research the going rate for similar plants in your area.
- Showcase the plant’s potential: Swiss cheese plants are known for their large, perforated leaves, so it’s a good idea to show off the potential of the plant by displaying a picture of a mature Swiss cheese plant next to your propagated plants.
- Market them well: Advertise your propagated Swiss cheese plants on online marketplaces, social media or in local newspapers, or even better make a video about them and post on social media platforms. Showcasing the beauty of the plant and its ease of care can help attract potential buyers.
By following these tips, you can successfully sell your propagated Swiss cheese plants in mason jars and bring a little greenery into the homes of others.
