If you gift plants to your friends, you can check on them once in a while and watch them grow 😉

[@andreahealey2238]

The people doing the shaming are just upset that the prices are going crazy. No one is forced to buy a plant at a price they feel is too much. Every uncommon plant I own has literally paid for itself and then some from me propagating it. My best one to date was a Variegated Florida Beauty, I paid $140 for the plant and the following year I put a single leaf cutting on eBay and started it $50. It sold for $370....I gave her an extra cutting because I felt it was too high, lol.

[@okanaganblonde4095]

I’m becoming a big fan of the auction type selling too. I recently brought a bunch of cuttings an a couple slightly uncommon plants (scindapsus/treubii and hoya) back to my hometown and auctioned everything. I think the highest starting bid was $10 and only two had a reserve to cover costs (otherwise no reserve) and I made almost $430 and donated it all to a local dog rescue. I feel much better with a reasonable list price and letting the the buyers decide what they will pay.

[@sandysumer1929]

I've started doing this, and honestly I've given away as many as I've sold 😅 Some plants grow so fast, it's worth sharing with people who are as passionate about plants as we are! lol! I'm excited to see the selling options, and I definitely would love to see a "how to ship" video!

I think she has a “shipping plants” video already if you take a look. It was super helpful!!!!

I saw it! My comment was in response to Harli's question about seeing an updated video 🙂

[@J.A.Arellano]

I totally agree with sharing! My area has a small plant community that does plant swaps or gives plants away for free. I've gotten some really neat plants for free and given away as well! It's just so much fun!

[@s.l.880]

I love newbies😍

[@Kitschstitchandchaos]

This is such perfect timing, I'm a week in to finally starting to sell from some of my collection after years of having plants! I've had to stop working recently due to serious mental health issues and I ain't feeling bad for making a little rent (and plant 😂) money from my own personal collection that I've cared and tended to for so long!

[@thispixielife5234]

Cuttings were a great way for me to start out and learn. It wasn’t expensive if I lost one when learning to care for it. I would like to see an update on how you ship plants. I would also be interested to know what plants are the most popular and how you go about pricing them please.

[@yaindyroque12]

I don’t think selling a cutting of your plant is necessarily bad. I think selling it for a crazy over price amount it’s not very nice 🥴 💚

[@broccoligirl9019]

Yes

[@janiceyu6288]

What's considered over price? To be honest a lot of plants are "overpriced". Like pink princess when the true value of growing the plant is only about $4... but because of supply demand, it went up. I think as long as they are selling at market value, that's fair enough. Selling cutting shouldn't be judged since acquiring plants can be expensive and selling a piece of it can help off set the cost of owning one is fair.

[@jenniferburns9637]

I’ll start by saying that I’ve never sold a plant. However, in my opinion I could care less if someone wants to try and sell their plants for an astronomical price. If someone else is willing to purchase it, that’s on them right? So long as people are willing to pay, the prices will never go down. It just comes down to knowing your means and being happy with what you have and being happy for the people whose means may look different from yours. I’ve waited years for certain plants because their price point wasn’t in my budget. Makes it all the sweeter when you do snag that wishlist plant :)

[@Kthb80]

I don’t think it’s anyone’s business what someone chooses to pay for something

[@northeasttexasgardener]

What do you consider "over priced"? If someone is willing to pay whatever price the plant is listed at, it's not over priced.

[@rndlh1996]

Everyone has an opinion and social media has made people very bold. It doesn’t matter what they think. I came here specifically to find out how I can sell my clippings because I’m in a temporary living situation and I have limited space to add more plants and my babies are growing like crazy. So there are some of us that this makes perfect sense to. 😊

[@elmerhernandez5810]

Haven’t seen a video like this out there. Good job

[@myconfusedmerriment]

I just joined a really active local purge group and it’s opened up a whole new world for me! There are sooo many people near me who are buying, selling, swapping, or just talking plants, it’s very cool! They even have “free Fridays,” where people can post if they have stuff to give away, great for people just starting out.

[@sheriwatson8274]

I'm glad you made this video and put it out there that's it's ok to sell plants/cuttings. I personally prefer the challenge of having a small cutting and watching it grow. I don't like to buy full, huge plants. Love it!

[@stylewithlaurieburley3707]

Loved this! Sold a plant last week and as the girl was walking away I was tempted to call her back and question how she was gonna care for it...I know... I’m attached! 🤷‍♀️

[@Sunmoonstars976]

I've thought about selling myself too. I sometimes wonder when I give plants away, if the person is going to give the plant a good home. I have 2 gift plants at the moment and occasionally I will text the person that gave then to me, pics of the plant to show them I'm taking good care of their babies. 😁

[@hollybeck605]

I think there's some legalities here that are important. Technically in some states you need to be a legal/certified grower to sell anything. Selling a copyrighted plant is illegal. And I'd think on Etsy you'd need to be a legal business that takes taxes, etc. Just some food for thought. :)

[@plantytaytay9208]

Shipping plants and plant material without a license can get you fined!

[@plantytaytay9208]

For sure if you aren’t licensed / aren’t ready to make it a ‘business’ or sell more than a few plants every once in a while just sell locally

[@ladystardust9707]

You’re absolutely correct. I have an Etsy store, and I can tell you, it varies from state to state. I’m in NJ, and all I had to do was get a tax id, business registration, etc. The good thing is, Etsy will tell you everything you need. It’s very user-friendly.

[@yeseniarios3304]

I sell my props at my local flea market. The one I go to does not require sellers permit but it’s also more of a bargain flea market so people were turned off by my prices. Except tiny pots. Tiny pots sold fast. So I’m in the process of dividing all my 4 inch pots into 2 inch to be able to lower prices. At another flea market in my city I need a sellers permit but it’s also a bougier one with more small business booths so I’d have no problem selling there. We have to find what work for us. 🧡

I think it's totally cool to sell props from your plants but I just hate that there's scalpers who go to big box stores to buy all of the "rare" plants and then resell them for over 5x the price. Sometimes I see them chop up th plants they buy at big box stores and sell cuttings for ridiculous prices to make way over 100% profit. It's not fair.

If I am going to buy plants online, I would rather purchase them from someone like you, whom I trust, than a random Etsy shop.

[@janiceyu6288]

I understand paypal for safety but if it's an in person transaction. I highly suggest sellers to do immediate digital payment (etransfer, bank transfer etc) or cash in person. I heard too many horror stories of buyers complaining after they get their goods and say didn't receive it or not satisfied and then get Paypal to reverse the transaction. There isn't many ways to prove you gave it to the buyer if you transacted in person unlike shipping you can show the shipping /logistics tracking. I've always done e-transfer/cash in person and had no issues or if they want to hold it for them, then they etransfer in advance. I think as long as you have a few 5 star reviews on FB marketplace, you can ask them for that, if they are serious they wouldn't mind. As you already developed a pattern of trustworthiness from your reviews. I suggest all sellers do the same. Especially for expensive plants, do first come first serve or they can choose to e-transfer to hold. Too many wishy washy buyers that ghost. You spend so much time with them and hold the plant for them for no reason when you could've sold to another who messaged later. My 2cents selling on fb Marketplace. I don't think Harli G has dealt with issues like this as much since she's an influencer with a large following and easily can sell off IG.
