Another business option for women is growing indoor plants for sale. It’s worth mentioning right away that this option is suitable mainly for those who are interested in floriculture and have some knowledge in this area, and are also not looking for quick money.
Such a business is associated with many difficulties, the main of which is high competition. Today, indoor plants can be bought anywhere: from large hypermarkets to small stalls or private traders selling in markets.
Therefore, it’s worth mentioning right away that selling something that is already sold everywhere is a dead end. “It is necessary to interest the buyer in rarity or appearance few people need ordinary plants,” says Denis, an entrepreneur from Lipetsk. At the same time, what exactly your customers need will have to be determined only experimentally, and this will take a lot of time, and you will have to grow a lot of flowers.
You shouldn’t count on quick profits either. Mainly because growing an indoor flower is not a quick task, and there is no way to speed up the process. You can, of course, sell very young plants, but this is not so profitable. The larger the plant, the higher its price: between a plant with a height of 70 cm and 90 cm, the difference in price is more than 500 rubles.
But you can start a houseplant business with minimal investment. To launch a full-scale business on indoor flowers, you will need enough free space to accommodate them, as well as various devices that will help create the atmosphere the plants need: fluorescent lamps, air humidifiers, fertilizers. And of course, you will need pots, soil and sprouts.
At first, it is not necessary to get down to business so seriously: it is enough to sell only 2-3 plants, and gradually expand the assortment with the proceeds. This approach will also help you understand which flowers are in greatest demand.
True, one can count on solid revenue in such a business only if there is enough large quantities clients - from several dozen people. This means that you will have to grow several dozen plants.
Along with plants, you can also sell all kinds of related products: pots, soils, suitable fertilizers. This will increase average bill without much time investment.
By the way, it is highly advisable to include care instructions for each flower put up for sale. Remember that in addition to the rarity of the plant, a big role for of this business Its quality, as well as the quality of the soil and container, also plays a role.
You can sell rare plants directly from home, and buyers will take them out themselves. You can also negotiate with flower stalls and give them your plants for sale. Although such resellers prefer to work with more or less large flower databases.

The very first step is to make a choice: what to grow. These can be garden flowering plants: lilies, gladioli, dahlias, asters and others. Decorative perennial garden plants are in great demand. They are called decorative because they do not bloom. Their main decoration is their beautifully shaped leaves, their ability to grow for decades and reproduce well.

So, the plan needs to start by highlighting land plot. This could be a plot of a private house, a dacha, or separately purchased or rented land. Renting land is quite expensive, so flower cultivation usually takes place on the owners’ private lands. The area of the plot depends on the assortment and number of flowers. If these are large plants, such as peonies or dahlias, then one ridge is not enough. It will take several hundred. Flowers can be grown both in open ground (in the ground) and in a greenhouse. The greenhouse should be spacious so that the plants have enough space. The advantage of the greenhouse growing method is that it creates certain microclimatic conditions: high temperature, humidity. In addition, the greenhouse protects plants from adverse factors environment: wind, low temperatures, precipitation, pests. Flowers will be more comfortable in a greenhouse than in ordinary soil.

Growing flowers requires constant care.
The plan for organizing it is quite simple. It includes watering, loosening the soil, fertilizing, and spraying against pests. During the hot period of the year, flowers must be watered as the soil becomes dry, but at least once a week. Otherwise, the flowers may die or they will become weak and produce scant shoots and few flower stalks. Growing flowers is quite a long and hard work. Flowers are very often affected by various pests: mites, flies. The plan for their improvement is the use of modern insecticides that destroy all types of pests. In a greenhouse, such measures may not be necessary, since the conditions there are somewhat different.
Growing garden flowers involves their reproduction. It can be in the form of cuttings, budding, propagation by shoots is also popular. Lilies, for example, are propagated by dividing the bulb. If a large bulb is planted in the first year, then a year later it will produce babies (bulb embryos), and after another year several bulbs will appear from one. Dahlias reproduce by dividing their root system. Rose - by cuttings, aster - by seeds. Thus, having planted many flowers at one time, after a couple of years you can increase their number, and then the growth will go in geometric progression.

Climbing plants, such as ivy, are best hung on a wall or ceiling so that their branches can creep along the surface. It all has great value, otherwise growing flowers will be a futile activity, because the main plan is to extract benefits.
After the number of flowers has increased, you need to sell them. You can do this most in various ways. The most difficult thing is to build your own store.

Another option is to sell plants at wholesale prices to various stores. But here you need to keep in mind that whatever price you ask, the store owner will mark it up from its original cost in order to benefit from it.
