Alright, folks, let’s talk about my recent adventure with Thai Constellation Monsteras. I’ve been eyeing these beauties for a while, and finally decided to take the plunge and get a few to sell.
Getting My Hands on Them
First things first, I needed to find a good source for these plants. Not just any plants, mind you, but healthy, vibrant ones that would make people stop and say, “Wow, I need that in my life!” After checking out a few different suppliers and reading a ton of reviews, I found a place that seemed to have a good rep. You know, the kind of place that actually cares about their plants, not just making a quick buck.
Setting Up Shop
Once I had the plants, I had to figure out where to keep them. I cleared out a corner of my place and set up some shelves. I made sure they’d get plenty of indirect sunlight, ’cause these babies love light but don’t want to get scorched. It was a bit of a squeeze, but hey, who needs personal space when you’ve got gorgeous plants, right?
Keeping Them Happy
Now, these Monsteras are known for their stunning variegated leaves, and I wanted to keep them looking their best. I did some more reading and figured out a watering schedule that seemed to work. Basically, let the soil dry out a bit between waterings, but don’t let them get too thirsty. I also started misting them regularly to keep the humidity up, which they seem to appreciate. They are tropical plants after all. And let me tell you, it was a bit of a learning curve. There were times when I thought I was overwatering, and times when I thought I was underwatering. But eventually, I got the hang of it, and the plants started to thrive.
Show Time!
With the plants looking happy and healthy, it was time to get them ready for sale. I took a bunch of photos, trying to capture their good sides. I wanted people to see how awesome these plants are. Then, I put them up for sale. I wrote a little blurb about each one, describing its unique features and why it was so special. It took a while to take photos and describe them all, and then set prices, but I managed to get them done eventually.
The Waiting Game
And then, the waiting. It was a bit nerve-wracking, not knowing if anyone would be interested. But then, slowly but surely, people started to reach out. It was a good feeling, knowing that other people appreciated these plants as much as I do. I carefully packed them up, making sure they’d be safe and sound during shipping, and sent them off to their new homes.
It was a lot of work, but seeing those Thai Constellation Monsteras go to people who will love them was totally worth it. Plus, I learned a ton along the way. Would I do it again? You bet! In fact, I might just have a few more beauties coming in soon…
