This business consists in the formation
of simple kits, packages with everything necessary for the growth of
a plant, more precisely such a kit contains: pot, soil, seeds,
fertilizer, instruction manual. Thus a combination of common products
form a new product for many categories of people: exotic plants
enthusiasts, spices for housewives or educational kits for children.
The range of plants that can be marketed in this way is very wide:
exotic spices, vegetables miniature (chili, tomatoes, etc.), fruits,
flowers, herbs, bonsai, mushrooms, various species of cactus.
Such growing kits sell for prices
between 10-30 euro / pcs. Not a huge amount, but for such a kit is
investing between 3-7 euro (so at least triple the amount invested)
and the investment may decrease depending on how we choose the
sources of buying of materials.
This business requires a good
research, passion is a very big advantage. Before you build a kit,
you have to know everything that is necessary for plant growth, the
number of necessary seeds, soil type, the number of day watering,
light, etc.
A personal opinion would be to
focus on plants less common, on the exotic plants or plants that are
hard to find in stores. Carnivorous plants appear to be in great
demand.
To promote your product choose
an online store site, classifieds or direct sales stores.
It's a simple business, easily
home based business, a PC, an symbolic investment, research and
imagination are all the things you need.
