Panic --- What is the next new ‘hot’ plant?

 

            Right now, just about any houseplant can be sold.

 

            What we are searching for is the plant that everyone wants.

 

            If there was ever a Catch-22, it is this dilemma.  The plant collector wants the plant that nobody has.  Then that means that there aren’t any to have.

 

            The original Catch-22 was when you could only get in to see the Major when he wasn’t there.  If he was in his office, you could not get in to talk to him.

 

            Who knows what plant should we be propagating so when it is sought after, we can have more than 10 to sell?  The obvious marketing plan is to have only 10 for sale but have a thousand in the back greenhouse.

 

            Fortunes have been made with guessing what scarce resource you should buy up and wait for the demand to hit.

 

            I knew a guy who bought a lot of slide rules anticipating that when nostalgia set in, slide rule jockeys from the 60’s would pay a lot to get one again. --- Don’t know how that worked out?
