What is a RARE plant worth?

What is a Rare plant worth?

 

            Supply and demand still works.

 

            A rare houseplant, by definition, has low supply.  The price can be high if you can find one.

 

            We constantly look for the next ‘hot’ plant.  It’s where the money is.

 

            A new plant I’ve found is Begonia amphioxus.  It’s small with bright spots on pointy angel wing leaves.  It can survive drought, therefore an easy houseplant.  What is it worth?

 

            If I sell it for $5.00 wholesale, it will be $10 - $15 retail.  Is that a fair price?

 

            Because there are so few available, some indoor gardener will want it enough to pay that price.

 

            If I had 10,000, what would the price be?

 

            It’s still a great plant at any price.
