How To Grow Orchids Business Idea

Growing orchids at home is a love story, and it might have a happy ending everyday!

Many people can think owning an orchid plant is only for rich people, but day by day this might change as orchid plants price is not as high as it used to be.

Orchid prices can go from very affordable to some how a “little expensive” according to the type of the plant and in which country you live.

I used to live in Mexico, and I always wanted to own my own orchid plant but the price was a little high for me, I could find an adult plant with flowers for the price of almost 50 US dollars, when I moved to Canada I found out an adult plant with flowers is only 13 US dollars, so I got myself my first orchid plant… and it almost died.

  1. I do love orchids. They are so beautiful when they flower. It’s worth the wait until the flowers return. 

    I had an elderly relative who often had orchids bought for her as gifts but none of her plants seemed to survive very long past the first flowering stage. Then I discovered that she thought they were dead once the flowers finished and threw them away, I was horrified. 

    Must admit it had never occurred to me that a business could be created from growing orchids

    Loved the post, thank you. Very informative and useful information.
