How much I earn selling plants on eBay (and how you can do it too) | Online Plant Business 

oh man i had you on 1.1x speed and even though you're enthusiastic about plants, i knew what i was seeing was not a normal amount of enthusiasm lmao

The funny thing is I stumbled across your channel by learning how to grow exotic plants out and sell them as investment plants so you can make money to buy more of them. It's not just a way to make money but it's a really good way to expand your collection. Also, good to see that you're feeling better.

I've been learning how to do tissue culture from home (wow super complex what have i gotten myself into) so that i can make expensive aquarium plants more accessible to people! Tissue culture and aeroponics is a game changer for multiplying plants!

Pete, any haters about people like you propagating rare plants and selling them for a profit are forgetting that eventually most of these rare plants go down in price so that in 1 - 3 years in most cases the average person can afford to buy one, even if it is just a 4" pot. Plant propagators and growers push forward the amount of knowledge on these plants culture. Some of these rare plants are losing habitat and are on the verge of going extinct. The same is true of rare animals. If people worldwide are growing these plants and selling them that provides an informal repository of genetic material that can be drawn off of if needed. The only thing to be concerned about is if any of these plants are invasive and escape into places like Florida where they can out compete native plants.

I was curious how the sales were going. Sounds like you have a great strategy. I seriously cannot understand why people would have a problem with other people cutting and growing out plants to sell. Like… how do they think any of us came to have plants we’re growing indoors. And anyway, I’d much rather buy from someone in the hobby than a large corporation.

You encouraged me before to try tissue culture in the comments of your previous video. I got 4 Thai cons for $40 US. I have kept them alive for almost two months and they are all pushing new leaves 🤩

I've slowly been getting into houseplants this year, and after buying a Thai Con last week I've been binge-watching videos about houseplants since 😂 I always love when I come across an Aussie youtuber, and so far what I've gotten from your videos is that I need to visit Bunnings more often LOL

Happy to see you Pete ! I hope you and your lovely family are doing great !

I’ve been watching hella small houseplant business related content for days and this was definitely the most informative video I’ve came across. I need more! Lol

Love how open and honest you are Pete! Take care matey 😊😊

Thank you for being so open and honest about this topic! 🙂

Hey hope you and family well can't wait for new video catching up on older content can't wait to seeu soon we all love your funny honesty and planty advice and adventures❤

Looking forward to it! Glad to see you back on uploading videos and you feeling better 😊!

Good to see you Pete. Thanks for explaining the business side of plant hobbies. Thanks!

I'm looking to subsidise my plant obsession by selling bits of my rarer plants, vid was super helpful. I think I saw one of your PSS for sale on FB, very tempting! Cheers mate

More videos please. We miss you. Also, great job on the collaboration with Nora the LECA Queen.

It's sad that you had to mention the 'haters'. I have now heard this on a few other RU-vid channels. I just don't understand how anyone could or would have a negative comment to say about this.Love your attitude towards it though. Nice to see you are feeling better and love you channel 🌸

Great to see you feeling better 🎉

Thanks for all your advice

Just found your channel and Iʻm so glad I did. This was interesting and inspiring. Do make more videos and more often. Thank you from Hawaiʻi!

You and Lee--informative AND entertaining! I have to admit: I'm totally intimidated about chopping up my plants. You have lots of good tips and I'm getting there....slowly. Question: those clear pots in this video...are the drainage saucers attached or is it just how you're holding them? Do you have a source for them? Good to see you here again.

Really fascinating video that has made me stop and think. I do not think I would be willing to go through so much to sell plants but I find this really interesting.

Definitely appreciate your opinions and methods of madness. 😊

This was very informative. I have subscribed. People who say “those things” what business is it of theirs???? Why do they even listen if they’re going to be so negative about such a positive hobby.👏🏽💐

cool thanks for the info Pete!

Good one matey! Perhaps a follow up to this one could be the actual process of putting stuff up on eBay or FB or wherever...the record keeping etc IF that's doable. Happy for you though...your hard work is paying off (pun intended 😆) and thanks for sharing it with us.

Nicely done Sir ! 🌿💚

Hey man, awesome and helpful content (consistently), so thank you for that. Regarding the aeroponics box, do you run the pump 24/7 or do you have it on a timer with a set on/off cycle? I don't remember if you ever mentioned it in a previous video (apologies if you have).

Awesome mate ❤

thank you

Great video Pete mate thanks for the tips as usual. I need to get some of my props on ebay. I keep chopping things up saying I'm going to sell them and get some money back and then because hey lets face it I'm lazy they just join the others on the shelves. 🙄🤣 I'd planned on getting some plants from you but idiot here went and overcommitted on a farm right before interest rates went boom so that's another reason to sell. 😅

Another interesting video, thanks for the info. Have you ever tried getting rescue plants, rehab them and try sell? I did it with a few and had mixed success.

Awesome really informative video! I don’t think I could handle trying to manage a big scale investment + return for selling. I just sell any surplus cuttings on FB I have of my nicer specimens, but I’ve never made back the cost of the plant. It gets a bit headachey quickly though because FB marketplace users have a tendency to not read the ad and demand interesting requests lol.

Thanks for the brain dump Pete. Lots of food for thought.

Have you tried wet stick rooting/propagation in Clone Machine?

I have an Etsy store set up but nothing on it, I wouldn’t have even thought of using eBay auctions 😅 or eBay for plants at all. I’ve always just done Etsy and googling websites

🐸🧦 my personal take from this is that I need an aeroponics system. then I can have more fun

Is winter over yet @pete?

Great breakdown Doc. Not sure why someone would hate. How did they get their plans?😂. I think the crime is the low quality stuff hitting the box stores in the US at least. PPP with no pink, standleyanna with no white, “miss labeled” esqueleto and “obliqua” and now low quality Thai Cons and even Albo switch next to zero variegation. Keep up good growing and great videos!

how do i do it because no one wants any when i sell them on ebay

What is ebay final value fee for selling plants? Which is cheaper ebay or etsy?

I may just be really dense, but what exactly is the difference between the white knight and the red anderson? They look like the same plant to me, especially more recent versions of white knight including my own ones that tend to have white and red variegation?

I contributed some money for your last month auction hahaha 🤣

How do you control pests in your collection. I have few plants I want to sell but I had a side mite outbreak and I'm terrified I will send someone a plant with them even though I've treated them. I'm afraid people will demand their money back or will leave bad reviews etc have you had any issues with that?

Welfare check! Is it spring yet Pete?

I am Fathima currently living in abudhabi.i am interested plant selling.i don't know how to sell that

Seeds?

Hey Pete, you still alive? Did your hyperfixation wear off already? 😅 or just busy doing stuff?

What about taxes since this is income? Can you earn whatever money you make without paying taxes? Would be nice.

1000 FOR 3 SHAKES???? I got mine for 45 😭😭 (Clearly the spiders arent the only insane thing about australia)

Aroid girl here. I have one cacti conversation & then someone gives me a cactus 😱 ... I'm blaming you Pete! I've spiked myself 3 times & I've only picked it up once. 😊

Yeah who are you on ebay cause I Am tired of waiting 3 months in america for one plant. I cold buy 10 by now.

I would not buy a plant that is that tiny for hundreds of $$$, I don't think this is true information, did subscribe, but just unsubscribe

Good to see you back and on form Pete.👍 How are the cacti doing? Not sure if I’ve already said it but congratulations on the 6k 🪴💚

Thanks for the info!!! ✌️🫶☀️
