Phalaenopsis orchid update

My Phalaenopsis orchid, 1 Apr 20

My Phalaenopsis orchid grows oddly. After 9 flowers, it paused growing new flowers, now there’s a bunch of new flower buds as the first batch of flowers start to die off. If I’m lucky, I’ll get at least another 6 flowers.

Selling Plants

In an effort to reduce the number of plants in my home and keep my English ivy from being overgrown, I’ve decided to sell a few of my plants. I replanted a few English ivy cuttings and a few of my hens and chicks succulents.

I listed them on Facebook marketplace and Kijiji and sales have been decent. I got a bidding war on my succulents because apparently I’ve been listing them too low a price. The purpose of selling my plants is not for profit, however pots and soils aren’t cheap and I wanted to break even. Also, this isn’t a sustainable business since plants don’t grow very quickly and I don’t think the demand of plants is enough to make this sustainable.

My succulents has attracted more interest than my English ivy, but apparently people like succulents because of their shape and looks.

I still have a few plants and I hope to have them all sold within the next week.
