I mostly sell locally when I have extra, but anthurium don't sell in pittsburgh yet, so I might have to start listing on Palm Street. Anthuriums addicts intimidates me. 😂
I just discovered Palm Street a couple weeks ago. So bad for the wallet 😂 But the sellers there have all been super nice!! Several great anthurium sellers who love to chat and don’t gatekeep. Also great to expand the varietals you have because there’s several big-time sellers who love to give goodies to people who interact nicely during their livestreams. Also some folks who sell harder to find supplies at better than retail prices
My go to is albo monsteras because they sell well and they are recognizable for people getting into the hobby. I can buy a four leaf albo for 120 and cut it up and make my money and then some. Albos are no where going anywhere yet so I’m thinking of focusing more on them next year. The other plants sell but for less than 15 bucks in my area.
I for one will love whenever you release the prop vid. I'm finally to the number of plants that I feel my small prop method isn't keeping up or doing well enough for me. Not that I have sold anything yet.. I was trying to get enough stock together and local word of mouth to sell locally before going online. >-
My success rate for propagating has dramatically increased since I bought an air pump and 2 manifolds, 100’ of tubing, and 10 air stones. I reuse glass jars and have 10 jars bursting with rooting plants ready to be potted up for sale. With an air stone and CloneX root hormone, I get roots in about 48 hours from cutting. I change all the water weekly.
P. hedaraceum variegated is not stable, at least not the one here. I was given some cuttings as a freebie with purchase last year with just the slightest traces of variegation left. It's totally green now, and still no sign that it will revert back to what it was. I'm putting that one on the seller because of how it already was going out. Love your videos, particularly when you do the investigative stuff!
Got 2 BMF's in 4" pots for $110 each, and lucky enough to find one double that size for $100 the same week. Keeping one for personal and two to prop & sell. Hopefully there will still be a bit of a market by the time all these TC's grow up.
I just found your channel and it’s all quality! Amazing info. Really wanna get your leaf lux thing. How would you use it in leca? I have a couple plants in it
Hey Chris, what a great Video... In regards you sharing your prop secrets - don't compromize yourself for our sake... I'd hate to see you losing your IP to someone like costa (tho I'm in nz so realistically can't care less but)... However, looking forward to it ❤
A mistake that i didn’t take account of until it was too late… Your mother plants grow BIG after awhile so make sure you have the space. I have a few mothers with such massive root balls regardless taking cuttings they still take up decent space…😵💫 and the cuttings that dont sell also grow big lol TC is cute and tiny now but they will eventually get there so be warned 😂
Unpopular opinion: I don't really like Monstera and will take non variegation first on most plants - but I mainly collect Anthuriums now. I think Anthurium hybrids are likely the biggest money makers individually. I see $400-$500 plants sell everyday on FB. If you can hybridize yourself and get 30 seeds at $60 a pop..well, you do the math. Some seedlings are $130 each. Imagine if you have 100?
Yeah unpopular opinion. While anthuriums are gorgeous and there’s tones of potential there’s a problem with them. They’re more for collectors or intermediate buyers. They require more care and humidity than most are willing or able to provide.
@@kindallnight1615is your argument that the ease of sexual propagation and amount of seedlings to make your money back from investment in Anthurium not as valid because it's a niche market? Are you thinking it's harder to find a buyer for that? Maybe it's just where I shop, but certain hybrids have waiting list. People are literally just buying seeds for these plants and germinating themselves because they're such in a rush for it.
@@nicoleashleytellier284No and yes my argument is that anthuriums are more niche and for experienced people especially the more rare ones. I know that anthuriums fetch a lot of money for seedlings but as easy as they are for collectors the average joe would struggle to keep them happy. While monsteras are relatively easy to care for and propagate then sell.
Yep, you won't have a lot of buyers. The average person won't deal with them. Even then, it better be labeled "NSE" (or similar and with proof) if you want to have a collector spend hundreds.
The problem with "rare" anthurium hybrids is that they're not special just because they're rare. And with the ease of making crossbreeds, the pricetag attached to rare hybrids is even more headscratching. I mean sure, they are rare, but so are the literally 10.000 other one-off anthurium hybrids, defeating the purpose entirely.
Where I live you can get monstera burle marx flame cuttings for like 20€ at plant fairs. It dropped like crazy in the last year

I’m also in the process of encouraging myself to try to sell. I’m nervous, but I think I really want to do it! Or try at least ☺️

The philo burle marx var is so 😍.

I like this series ❤🤩
Really Informative for me 💯🌿.
Love from India 💙
What do you mean when you say the mint adonsonii “propagates accidentally”?
It just roots VERY easily in water, moss, aroid mix.
Can't wait for your upcoming "secrets exposed" show!

Is EPIPREMNUM Marble the same as Epi Marble Queen?
Hey Chris! Are you guys not really selling on Palmstreet anymore? I miss your lives 💚
Hey Heather! We haven't done a live in a while! We will likely do a single show coming up!!
I Bought a Burl Marx flame for 70 us in denmark
Hvorhenne?😯
None of them. Plant shops aren’t profitable anymore unless you got established several years ago
💯
The P. variegated Heartleaf just takes FOREVER to put out growth points. 😢
