@Dirttiller25, I liked your pictures and my monitor appreciated getting a turn with its subsequent dusting.

Really, it's not all that hard to turn my head and envision what I'd love to see growing in my sun room right now.

I can understand that, Cat. I would always be amazed that my spouse could 'see' the finished project before we started, but I couldn't. Amazing as our brains are, they do work differently.

Updated pics of my plants and yes the pics are sideways again but I took them the right way so I dont know why it does it. I'm going to start selling them soon , just got to make a final decision on price. At a local chain store plants this size were going for like $3.48 each. Anyone got an opinion as to what to ask for them? I was thinking like $3 each or 2 for $5.

I think, I THINK ..

. you should not sell them for a dime less than the chain store, DirtTiller! They look great, by the way.

Have you seen the outfits that grow those plants? They are corporations able to make a profit on just pennies a plant. Trucks drive through on the hour ... 18 wheelers, loaded and hauling to every corner of the country.

If you want to do this as a charitable sort of thing, a help for an organization that does good works, that is another thing. If it's just for fun ... but, the rewards will be very limited if you feel you must undercut the industry. Put a pencil to paper at some point in the future and my guess is that you will decide that you just don't have the time for the effort and $ you are putting into it.

Not really trying to undercut the industry. I'm just the type that hates to see plants go to waste so I want to be sure to have a fair enough price to move as many plants as I can. I hate to even see plants go to waste when I have to thin some lol. As long as I can recuperate some investment for seeds and materials and make a little profit I'll be fine with it.

I like the prices that you suggested Dirttiller25. They don't sound too high where it might turn some people off. Your price sounds very attractive to me and makes me want to buy some.
