Actually, I never thought of selling my plants. I was a breeder of exotic birds before I moved here to this farm and retired from that business. I built a greenhouse and began to propagate plants when all of a sudden I was out of space. We have a Christmas Tree Farm and not much outside garden space, plus winters are nasty so I had to build the greenhouse because I love my plants. But when you get too many then it is time to clean out the greenhouse. I gave eBay a try and it worked.
I kept the prices down and learned how to pack them and I was back in business again. That was nearly 10 years ago. I sell when I feel like it. I did have to become a certified nursery here in the State of NJ in order to ship plants West of the Mississippi. I must have a State inspection of the greenhouse yearly but that is no big deal. Unless he finds insects...and he uses a magnifying glass on the plants (honest). Now I am really getting overstocked and am getting rid of all the starter plants of Holiday Cactus. I keep most of the bigger stock plants in the house for my own benefit. I love the fact they bloom from November to March and some are still blooming.
Then of course, there are the jasmine, spiders, goldfish plants, african violets and streptocarpus which I play around with. I try and keep my different plants to a minimum and usually do not propagate anything I can not sell. The spiders are really getting popular again that is how we got into this subject a few weeks ago. I am so glad we have you joining our little chat group.
