I'm selling mine for £53.50 including a pot, sold one yesterday but most people just come in to look at them.
They keep for a good couple of months, if they're cared for - my staff tend to kill every plant that's here though through neglect so I need to keep an eye out. |

Hmm, expensive, but worth it perhaps if they catch people's eye and lure them in. We have those massive hanging pitcher plants sometimes and hang them outside as a talking point for people, never sell any, but they do make people stop and look. And it's entertaining for us too, listening to the know-it-alls standing there spouting absolute rubbish about how they attack and devour insects.

I can't sell Hydrangeas or mini roses either. I did get some lace cap hydrangeas or whatever they are called and they went. I tend to pick up the oddest looking stuff. People seem to like the novelty factor. I've done well with capsicums and tomato plants. I also seem to sell lots of the 2.50 stuff but I think thats cos I'm in a walk through bit and people just grab stuff as they pass. Got some bonsais for 4.50 last week, desperate to sell em before i kill em!
