Here’s Another Fun Investment To Try At Home! Make Money From Selling Indoor Plants.

More people are getting more interested in outdoor and indoor gardening since the lockdowns started. Most have already stuck to it, even after the Covid restrictions in the neighborhood were lifted. That’s because aside from the fun this gardening activity brings, gardeners make money from growing and selling their indoor and outdoor plants online.

Plants are a great investment. According to money.co.uk research study, Monstera Dubia is the most profitable houseplant with around 766% investment increase! You can buy a cutting of Monstera Dubia for £21.25 or around US$28 as its average price. Let it grow fully at home and you can sell it for around US$245! That’s a great investment with minimal capital if you’d ask me.

Here are the other best houseplants to make money from: 

1. Alocasia 

2. Hoya Carnosa Compacta

3. Caladiums

4. Philodendrons

5. Variegated Monstera

6. Monstera Thai Constellation (one of the most in-demand house plants today!)

It might sound easy to make money from plants but, how easy it is really to find clients who are willing to buy a potted indoor plant for such a huge amount?

A rare and expensive houseplant is likened to a luxury handbag. On June 2021, a rare variegated Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma was sold in a New Zealand auction site for $19,297! That’s a great way to make money from plants! The plant has only 8 leaves in a rare white and green colors.  It came in a 14-cm pot. The said plant is a native plant in Malaysia and Thailand. 

This might be something that will raise eyebrows. Who would buy a houseplant that could almost cost an average person’s annual wage? 

Refinery29 interviewed people who are fond of buying expensive plants. These people purchase houseplants because it is rooted from their tradition and culture. Most of them buy because it reminds them of their childhood, parents, and grandparents. Some have already turned it into a hobby and they really spend a little fortune to collect plants.

Moreover, it teaches people how to invest from the comforts of their home. You might have one of these most coveted plants lying somewhere in your house.
