In this video I take you through my experience of starting an online plant shop. There are so many things I wish I'd known sooner, and lots of things I'd have done differently, so if you're thinking of starting a house plant shop, I really hope this helps to shed some light on things!

I have worked in the horticultural industry for around twenty five years including in plant nurseries and garden centres where I bought the houseplants in from suppliers in Holland etc. I just wanted to say that I really admire you for setting up on your own and I appreciate you sharing your experience.

[BubbleGumPlant]

Glad you enjoy combining YT with your love of plants. You are an eloquent speaker so enjoy both your edited and unedited videos.

[laurenervin]

This is honestly the best video I've seen about the process of opening and running a small plant shop (or ANY shop)! Thank you SO much for sharing your experience. You really covered everything! 💚

[BonkersAboutAlice]

I think this is one of your best vlogs.
Wife and I now have a very successful online store, even though we still have our day jobs.

I listened to this as I cycled today and I laughed and smiled all the way through as we've been there, done that God gone through and we're still here.

Really 'binge-watching' your videos is as relaxing as my own plant care <3

[g.claire]

Loved your candor and great content given in such a generous, relaxed, and friendly way. All the best to you!

[irisschram]

Really enjoyed the long chat and all your tangents! About half of people learn best in a kind of roundabout way or through seeing other people so it, so don't worry. The right people will get you and understand you completely :)
I've always had plants, like trailing ivy everywhere as a teen -- but now that I'm in my first own apartment, I brought lots of tropical houseplants in and of course now I need to deal with pests! So I'm learning all I can to care for the plants in the best way. I found you through your thrips video yesterday... Yes I finally know the name of the little bugs on half of my plants, uh oh that sounds like a challenge... But we conquered the gnats too so we've got this :)
Sorry, now I'm rambling too -- really I just wanted to thank you for your videos and letting us in on your life like this! ❤️

[moonwillowwave]

Claire, I love your videos. I have absorbed and learned so much that has lent me more confidence and ideas as I play with my own plants and propagation. It looks like you are potting up string of pearls water propagations? What propagation methods or media do you like to use to propagate strings of things?

[comfycozycrochetwithtris]

Thanks for all the great info!! You were a joy to listen to!

[tinaV]

Just came across your video. Brilliant!
You are so beautiful inside and out.
I haven’t yet opened a plant shop but like you I had/have so many ambitious ideas. Answering all those questions came at the proper time for me. Loads to think about. Thank you so much!
I paused the video and popped over to your Instagram page. Beautiful as well.
I am now subscribed on YouTube and following on Instagram.
You helped me feel so much better when you said that you’ve dealt with times where your heart just was not into plant care for the moment. A bit of burnout. But when you push through you find the joy in it all over again. I get that.
I’m looking forward to catching up on all your videos and seeing your plant shop reopen.
I took a long way around to say thank you 😊
Thank you! 🌱

If u plan to restart a plant shop, I recommend u sell flowers or plants that you can eat. Lately, a lot of people have been buying fruit and vegetable plant seeds. With price inflation, food is more expensive so people have decided to grow their own food and canning it. You’d probably make more money if you just sold the seeds actually. Idk what’s happening in the uk, but in America the inflation keeps getting bigger and bill gates owns the most farmland in the world

Ive wanted a little bit of extra pocket money so very recently actually ive been gearing up on my setup. I bought a sturdy 5 tier shelf, some shop lights, ive taken so so many propogations. Im just gonna be a basic aroid Etsy shop eventually branching out into more fun things.

I took up a side job just so i could splurge on rare plants recently. I got a second Monstera Albo cutting with a high variegation, and three types of monstera Adansonii; Indonesian Mint, Aurea, and Albo cuttings. Im gonna use every trick in the book to grow these out A.S.A.P and eventually start selling some cuttings of my own.

[Liliescontinuum]

This was incredibly useful, I watched the whole thing! Thank you for sharing your experience and advice.

[peggybouillon]

You are also a good teacher of plants!🌿

[CallMeGameGirl]

I've decided to sell a certain plant I've fell in love with and went overboard with buying seeds of a large variety. Lol. I was in the process few months ago of opening up a shop on etsy for other stuff and I won't even need to redo the banner as I used giant flowers I the branding lol.
I'm pretty excited to do it all. I'm gonna have to make a greenhouse by next winter tho haha. Gonna have so many beautiful plants that I'm sure my boyfriend would not like them taking up the whole house when he has so many as well haha

[daniellejarvis]

I really want my own plant business but know I have got so much to learn and need my own house to have the space. This is so helpful! Thank you! Love your shop and page 💚

[chattrick]

Thanks for the insights, very inspiring! 😊 As a strategist and designer I think you are doing a fantastic job! Keep up this spirit and wish you all the best and success!

[kimberleywesley]

Always so informative and your honest take on things. Never too long with action packed information like you have provided. You make repotting look so easy. Thanks for all your time.

[AquaGardenZen]

This was an amazing video I been wanting to do the same as far as opening up an online shop for plants and invertebrates thank you for sharing your experience with this ❤

[Guppy_Girl]

Very helpful. I’m getting into selling aquatic plants, but this info and your experience can be used for building any small business. Thank you.
