- Here it is, how to make money with plants in your living room. Learn how to propagate, grow, and sell plants for cash. It's like having your own money printing press right in your own home and you can hit the print button any time you need some extra cash. This is an excellent home based business that anyone can start on a shoestring. Selling plants from home is simple, cheap to get started, and fun. If you love plants, especially houseplants, and you have fun propagating them, then this is the home based business for you and you should start rooting cuttings to create a "backyard nursery" for yourself. This business is no different than urban farming, you're just doing it with houseplants and landscape plants. There's one big secret. Chase the value you'll provide, not the money you'll get. If you do that, the money will come.

I would love to. But, right now I can’t I live in my truck (I’m a truck driver) and use my daughters address for mail. So, I watch your channel and dream.😉
Thank you! ❤😊
Money is not the root of all evil, it's _the love of money_ that's the root of all evil.
Exactly!
Indeed. 1 Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows."
@@ianmensik8245 that translation butchers the scripture sooooo badly. It makes it sound like every single sin is caused by the love of money, when it’s not. Get a KJV.
That's EXACTLY RIGHT!
Oh shoot you beat me to it! Religious people don't seem to know their own book of evil :-)
I had a large thornless blackberry in my back yard for years. A skunk moved in under it when the plant was about three foot around. I never had a problem with him. He only came out at night and kept the bugs in check. 20 years later and 10 feet across. We still live in peace.
Haha, that's an awesome story. Put a smile on my face, thanks Patricia!
Love it
Aww I love this story!! Thanks for sharing 🦨💚
I had the same thing happen in kentucky with blackberry bushes. The only trouble was it got a little scarry when the horses came up trying to nudge their noses into the bucket and didn't want to go away. Thankfully they never made enough a bother to upset the skunk.
20 yrs with a skunk? Wow. Awesome. We love our wildlife, too.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Last year I even sold dozens of plants to people like taxi drivers who were driving me home and saw my garden. Neighbors are my customers and even my medical doctor is coming here to buy my products regularly now.
Awesome! It's a lot of fun, isn't it.
@@MikeKincaid79 yes, there is a minivideo about my garden which a friend made in September. She was completely surprised because I started that garden just in April 2020. Now I will start selling in the internet.
@@katipohl2431 Have fun growing your business, Kati!
Do you need a license or anything like that to sell plants you grew from seeds? I started about 20 tomato plants I want to sell at our yard sale?
In Pennsylvania we see growers sell by the roadsides, farmers markets, flea markets, road side signs by their house "tomatoe plants, bell pepper plants, cucumber plants", just my opinion, if you can sell your plants, fruit or flowers at a yard sale, I would go for it! Maybe if you visit a farmers market and ask, they would know, (or greenhouse?) By the videos I've seen so far, he's mentioned using heirloom plants and looking up if a particular one has a patent (roses video), so that says something if you make it your "buisness"... good luck in your endeavors! ❤-John's wife
Hi Mike! I love your videos! I’m one of those seniors without much money. I figured it up and I need to make $200 more a month and I can retire. At 70 yrs old, I’m ready. But I’ve always loved the job I do helping people. Your approach is so relatable. I have plants, I love plants and your videos are teaching me so much more about them. Please don’t stop!!!
You can absolutely do this and make up that difference you need. I'm rooting for you!
I collect my seeds and sell them on FB Marketplace @ $1 or $2 for a generous quantity. Morning glory, zinnia, cosmos, cleome, larkspur, hyacinth bean, etc. Easy to grow and a zen moment for me to collect from my yard.
I also propagate hydrangea, wandering jew, birds' nest plants, and especially spider plants to resell.
I enjoy teaching others how to care for the plants I sell. I've learned so much from your videos, Mike. TY!!
That's so awesome to hear, Brenda! Glad you've found success and thanks for being a part of the family here!!!
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks! You are a wealth of great info. I will be propagating hydrangeas in a tote again this year. I was very successful last summer.
I’d like to do this do I need to get a nersery lisence?
I am from Eswatini (Swaziland) in southern Africa & doing same, should also start selling online, got a lot of plants that strives this part of the world. Thank you guys.
That is such a cute idea 🥰 🌱I sell my own diy shrimp and baby fish foods for break even too, if people can enjoy the hobby at the start and some want to go deeper into it they’ll likely remember you and come back to purchase something more substantial down the road, every interaction can start a domino effect over time ✨❤️
Hay Mike, this is the kind of video I need to see as I am starting my own plant nursery here in Maryland. I plan on having some product available this spring to sell at farmers markets and through ads.
Right on, Michael! Start small and build bigger as you go.
mike is my master of propagating Blueberries :'D last spring i was successful from 800 ..rooted ~600 :) propagating are soo addictive ....this spring i need to plant them and next year will have some berries thx to mike
Wow, thanks for the compliment and thanks for sharing your success! Great job!!!
Wooaah❤
Mike, you are such a true motivation and inspiration! :) I'm about to start my own nursery, the job I always wanted to do, and now, after 15 years of office job I'm going OUT! Can't describe the happiness and excitement, and to watch your videos and see you being so passionate about plants and propagation, makes me truly courageous and inspired to follow the same. Thank you for that!
You are so welcome, Ana! Congratulations on cutting ties with your job and seeking what you truly love. Good luck in your new endeavors.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you, and also, besides wonderful ambition and inspiration, thank you for sharing all your know knowledge and experience, your channel is a real treasure for us learners.
I have been working with plastics many years. It's been about 12 years with employers and 32 years self employed. I have some decent yard and always loved nature and planting my property. The end of this year I stop taking orders for plastic and often with a timeline attached. I will be propagating plants. I have started to. For me then it will be hobbies that fill my heart. Plants , shop creations , from wood mostly. Some camping and fishing as well. I love to start plants and see them in the landscape. I have a lot of plants in my yard I can propagate. I kept their plant tags to be able to identify them. I have lived at this home for 32 years. I really like your passion for plants.🙂
Hey Mike, Thanks for the pep 🌶talk. I wish my bosses in the garden center where I worked were even 100th as nice, honest and real a guy as you are.
I appreciate the really kind comment, John. I'll always be open and up front with you and I enjoy teaching what I do.
I feel like the plants apreciate a kimd honest attitude too. they feed on life just like the rest of it
@@cinderellie9583 this is the truth right here
Mike, Your enthusiasm is addictive. Found a way to get lots of material for cuttings and wanted to share. I saw an older gentleman triming his crype Myrtle's so I stopped. Asked if he would like to get rid of his pile. Man was he happy. I loaded my truck. He also let me take cuttings off other plants an trees too. Stuck hundreds. Helped him an me both.Win/win. We're retired. Extra money would sure help but what I enjoy most is meeting an talking to the people. My wife makes wreaths. Betty's burst of creation...Facebook market place. We meet so many nice folks. Plants are coming along nicely an should have some to offer in a year or so. Good things take time. Proverbs 3; 5&6. Thanks Mike !
Correction... Bursts of creations by Betty
That's great, Dean. I've done the same many times. People are always very friendly about sharing their cuttings if you ask. The videos I did about the english laurel all started with me driving through a nearby neighborhood and seeing a man trimming his hedges. I stopped and asked if I could take some trimming and he was more than happy. We talked for a while and hit it off pretty good. Those are the people I always remember. Thanks for sharing your story and I'll be sure to look for your wife's store on Facebook.
I have been a horticulturist for 20 years. Propagation is my passion. Tropicals/cacti/succs. The free info you give out on these v logs is an asset that only needs to be plugged in to in order to get there. Knowledge of your product, a solid (but tweakable) plan, a lifelong passion for learning and willingness to do so are keys to success. Thx for the online sales info, as online is a new frontier for me. Looking forward to learning more from ya--
Glad you're here Andrea! We've created a family of plant enthusiasts over the years and I cover all kinds of topics in my videos. Have fun learning from them and welcome to the family!
Love your witness! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Ron, thanks for being here!
Ditto!
I just started loving plants as a hobby . Single full time dad . Bought a croton . Moon valley . Pathos , pepperomia I think it’s called lol . These videos are helpful thank you
Well have fun with it Alex. Glad to help inspire!
7:05 Henry is like your cash register "cha-ching" sound: three times you mentioned money/value.
LOL, he sure is a good rooster. Maybe one day he'll start laying golden eggs. Wait a minute, that's not how that works, lol.
You mean I shouldn't just propagate plants and keep them all? My husband will like this idea. Lol.
You can keep them all too but your husband may not like that idea, LOL
Hi, Mike: I’m a recent subscriber. I love the passion you bring to your videos!! Thanks for the inspiration....you’ve given me lots to think about! I’m happy to learn that “money grows on trees!” This is also great life advise. Keep up the great content!!
Glad to inspire! I'll keep bringing the videos if you keep watching!
A lot of us have been wondering how to sell on line, your demo made it easy.
Thank-you Skipper ⛵
Glad it was helpful! There are so many aspects to selling plants from home. If this is popular enough, I'll do more on the topic over time.
I feel like you would be an amazing podcaster. I would for sure listen!!:)
Thanks! Maybe I should just turn all my videos into podcasts, lol. Of course, then you wouldn't be able to see anything.
The more good people that have money - the better off we'll be. Keep making money good people, you'll do good things with it.
Wow, thank you! Didn't realize it is so easy fo sell on these sights.
It's very easy! Have fun with it, Karen.
Honestly this was a geat video.
Wealth do not come fast, but comes gradually. And we need to enjoy the ride bro.
God bless
That's it!
Thank you Mike, I'm one if those seniors that can use a few bucks to pay off my mortgage. I'm going to try it! I always love watching you interact with your family 👍
You can do it! I’ve got faith in you.
Hi Mike, what can u teach me about my plectranthus Mona lavender I just bought 💜 in full bloom. Can I keep it
The way they pay free shipping is easy if they do it right. Only costs flat 3-4 dollars usps priority mail packing. Boxes included in the price. Get as many free boxes pay only at the time of shipping. Then raise the selling price and include shipping in the cost. Technically not free shipping.
You're awesome ! Love you're videos! And all you're great information !!!!!!! Don't know if I'll ever sell my plants I love giving them away lol
That's fun too! Thanks for your support Ryan!
I don't know why the first 6 minutes was necessary. Who is telling you it's evil to sell stuff? Also, roosters taste just like chicken.
🤣🤣 Well I bought a small pothos & took 5 cuttings & set them in soil 🙃 Wish me luck 🤞
Good luck, Kristy! You've got this, no problem at all. If you have any questions, just ask.
You made me cry.....what a generous heart you have wanting to help people. I am in Australia trying to live on Aged Pension, it's very hard to get by. You are inspirational, thank you!!
So glad you found this, Jools! I hope it inspired you and gave you the push to make it happen. Good luck!
I hit the "like button" before I watch the video. I'm know the video will be great and that I will learn at least 1 thing by watching
Hearing you say that you'll learn at least 1 thing makes me happier than anything else! Thanks for your support, Dianne.
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been saying for years that I shouldn’t be giving my plants away...I should be selling them! Heck, I do all the work planting, weeding, watering, and feeding them to keep them thriving. Then when they need thinning, who is out there digging in the hot sun??? ME! That’s who. And who benefits from all that digging and bagging? All my friends, neighbors, and total strangers. This last spring alone I bet I gave away 100 Iris plants, 300 or more Lambs Ear plants, and about 15 bags full of daylilies!!! And that’s just a few plants I gave away. I figure I gave away more than $3000 worth of plants just since spring.
Haha, what a wonderful philanthropist you turned out to be, lol. I'm kidding, but seriously, you could be making a little side income. Even if you gave them away cheap it sounds like you could put an easy grand in your pocket. That's a nice little vacation. Don't undervalue all of your hard work and time. Also, I've found that giving things away causes the recipient to undervalue what you gave them. In their mind, it suddenly becomes worth what they paid for it, lol. I once gave a very beautiful rhododendron away to a good friend. It was a good size one that was in full bloom and gorgeous. They saw it and fell in love and I said, go ahead and take it, I know how much you love it. Well, long story short, they loved it so much that they let it die very quickly. I find that when someone pays for them, they value them much more since they are vested in it. Good luck Beth!
@@MikeKincaid79, I do think you are right about how many people undervalue freebies. If that had been my rhododendron I would have been just sick to my stomach knowing I’d sent it to it’s death with that careless friend. I am one of those plant people who cannot let a living thing die. If anything is salvageable, no matter what shape it’s in when I get ahold of it, I’ll nurse it back from the brink of death. People at my work will bring me their dying plants and if at all possible I’ll save it. Then they take it home and usually over or under water it all over again and let it die anyway!!! What I should do is take the poor plant home with me and just tell the bad plant parent that I am sorry, but your plant baby didn’t make it. And then keep the plant for myself!!!
@@MikeKincaid79 , you’ll be proud of me!I just dug up tons of iris, and instead of giving away, I posted on FB sale pages. Within a few minutes I had numerous messages pouring in, and have sold $50 worth already! I feel a lot more motivation to thin my gardens when I know I’m getting paid a little for all my time and hard work!!
Well said. You are awesome! Thanks for sharing 💕
You are so welcome
do ya mean "How to breed gnats in your living room"...LOL
Thanks so much for this video! At last, sound, practical advise and an idea that would cost virtually nothing to set up and it's realistic to achieve! Cant wait to get started, so lucky to have a large garden and also put my horticultural skills to use!
You summed it all up, Lorraine! Good luck and thanks for your support here.
Mike, I really enjoy the awesome videos! Can you please show us the correct way to package and ship the plants we sell? Thank you!
Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/lv1LFsnCOZs/v-deo.html and here's a video of me shipping a bare root plant: ua-cam.com/video/XZlTWMJw-2g/v-deo.html
I'm in highschool and love growing stuff. I am thinking about doing this cause it can be a really easy way to get money.
Go back and watch the video. Don't chase the dollars, chase the value that you provide for the buyer. If all you're looking for is an easy way to get money, you'll never find it. Also, quit thinking about doing it and just do it. That's my advice for the day young grasshopper.
Mike you’re looking like some of those young rapper kids with the cash money in front of the camera 😂. Cool 😎 🙏👍💯
Haha, now I just need a gold chain around my neck.
While cloning my plants,Ive heard everything you said.Keep up the good content Mike and thank you.
You are so welcome!
I actually own a farm and this year we've got a good bit of mammoth Russian Sunflowers and hot pepper plants but haven't sold a single plant. So frustrating!
I love this video! I was just sitting in my house messing with my plants and wondered what to do with all these babies I have
Glad it was helpful! Have fun selling them
Thankyou. Mike. I am pensioner who loves your comments. Thankyou for giving me a purpose to go on I am third generation on my farm. I live being there there are many thing needing repair. With little money. I stay because I want my children to see the beauty trees flowers. And yes. It not about money. peace and Blessings be withyou and family
Awesome! Sounds like you’re doing the right thing for the right reasons.
This is so awesome. Thanks soooooooo much.
Glad you're enjoying it, Brenda! If it's a popular topic and people want to hear more then we'll keep going with it.
Love your videos and all of your followers and their stories and comments too. I'm learning so much, getting many ideas, reading others experiences and stories and enjoying the good company here along the way. thank you everyone!-John's wife
Wonderful! And I'm happy that you're reading the comments and finding great ideas in there as well.
Hey Mike! Awesome! Thanks! Hugs🤗💜
Hugs!!!
Are you growing what your smoking to?
Yes
Finally made it! Time to relax and soak it all in lol.
Glad you made it, lol
Well said Mike you always speak the truth 👍🥇
Thank you Blessings for you and family for 2023 💗🙏🌈❤️👏💫✨👍
Thanks Ebony! And wish for you and your family, a wonderful 2023 as well.
This is a dream I've wanted to do, thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Start small, don't spend money to get started, sell a few plants and prove it to yourself. Most important, have fun with it!
Thanks for sharing Mike! Loved the info! Very helpful. Cant wait for the next video👍👍 keep em coming 😀
I appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed it. More to come!
Hi Mike, thanks for this video. Retired and 74 years old I have started a very small home based nursery. This does work. On Thursday night I advertised coriander plants in a 14 cm pot on the local Facebook buy and sell groups. Within hours the enquiries started coming in. By 6 pm Friday night all 23 pots had been sold at $2 per pot.
That's awesome, Graham! Proud of you man. Keep building on that momentum!
I am 73 and have so many extra plants from divisions or just triming plants and sticking them in water to root and then plant! Selling them sounds really good!!! Am working on a shade room and protection for seedlings from the birds.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I just started 100 fig cuttings the other day! I have a bunch of other plants ready to go. I have someone who has offered to supply me with pots and potting soil. I just need to buy a $50 grower/seller license and I'm ready to go! Or I could just sell on websites like you were showing and I wouldn't been that license
I'm still working on a name and logo. I've got a few names in mind mainly need a logo
Sounds like you've got a plan. Don't spend too much money in the beginning, just make those sales.
Thanks for the encouragement and all the tips. :)
You bet!
I see that you went on Etsy to decide your prices. I’m worried that Etsy is too pricey for my customer. At Home Depot, bell pepper plants sell for $3 a pop. Even though Etsy sells em for 10. Thinking about selling them for 5 or something
I went to all the sites to determine my price. Also, you should price according to the site you're posting on.
Mike where u been, I've missed your stuff! I so sick of winter I'm ready for spring and following your stuff. Love ya man.
Thanks! I'm still here. Spring is on the way and I'm getting excited!
Mike, thanks for the video! Have you done a video on how to ship these little plants...packaging properly, etc. You've gotten me all worked up to supplement my social security disability (tired of begging my wife for 5 bucks here and 5 bucks there every time I want to buy something for the garden...lol. Thanks again.
LOL, you can do this! I believe in you. Just take it one step at a time. Sell one plant and prove it to yourself and then ramp it up from there. Before long, your wife will be asking you for money. Here's the video you asked for: ua-cam.com/video/lv1LFsnCOZs/v-deo.html Good luck and have fun with it!
Great video Mike. My wheels are turning so hard. I'm selling vegetable plants in spring and summer, and house plants fall and winter. Roses too. I was gonna grow and propagate them all anyway. Lol
That's what it's all about, Treva, get those wheels turning, lol. Have fun!
But, how do you ship living plants ? Any advices ?
Yes, and I've got a video about it with the packaging, shipping, and arrival at the other location across the country. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/lv1LFsnCOZs/v-deo.html and here's another one of shipping dormant plants: ua-cam.com/video/XZlTWMJw-2g/v-deo.html
Hi Mike, Why are people in your area buying pepper plants in in January? Seems like the wrong time of year.
LOL, there is an entire subculture of people who are fascinated with peppers and grow them year round, indoors and out.
I stumbled upon this video, via UA-cam's auto-play feature, & as I listened, I thought it was a brand New video, (considering current economics & inflation, etc. /2022), though now I see you were perhaps a bit 'ahead of your time' when creating this video. ~ Great Job!!! ~
One thing you might want to be aware of, is that there are many 'disabled people', of various ages, surviving on Social Security Income, (='SSI', & not to be compared with SSDI, or with Social Security Retirement Income). The 2022 standard maximum for disabled individuals /SSI is $841., (whereas $1200.+ is closer to the income other types of Social Security recipients receive, depending upon if they're disabled or of retirement age). In which case, your helpful information and encouragement can potentially be more valuable than you even realize. (Of course it's important to understand that 'disabled people' may have serious physical+ limitations, &/or high pain levels, which may make it difficult or impossible to do many tasks which others take for granted). I have no doubt that many people would benefit if you were to create another similar updated video, for those who don't happen to stumble upon this one.
Thanks so much for the nice comment. I will definitely do more videos like this in the future and already have some ideas. The only reason I go so long between them is that I have to spend a lot of time cultivating these ideas and videos in my mind. I don’t ever want them to feel forced. So I wait until I’m really feeling it and the time is right and then just dive into a subject. Thanks again for the updated SS numbers and thoughts.
The algorithm seems to have hidden you from my feed...or I’ve been too busy to watch UA-cam as much🤣
People tell me that from time to time. I think it has to do with how frequently you watch this type of video and how frequently I post. More to come in the future. Check back in from time to time and see what's cooking. Good to see you here.
This year hoping to sell some surplus! Woohooo! Ty! God wants Loving Abundance and Happiness for all Her/His Children. 💜
Absolutely! Glad to see you again, it's been awhile.
Found your videos by researching how to propagate oak trees. I really enjoy your positive and enthusiastic outlook and willing to help others. I started training/growing/pruning bonsai trees this spring (Hemlock, Azalea, Juniper, White Pine to name a few) and now want to get into growing my own trees. Making a little money on the side by selling some of the stock that I propagate (if I have success in growing them hah) would be fantastic! Thank you for the knowledge and encouragement! Subscribed now and have a lot of videos to catch up on :D - Thanks Mike!
Hey, thanks for the positive comment and good luck on your adventure!
Hi Mike amazing my friend as always, greetings from Serbia. I have to tell you something on instangram i send message now !
I'll go check it out, thanks!
@@MikeKincaid79 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@MikeKincaid79 I send all the questions to you, just to now if you see them ?
Thanks so much Mike for sharing your information.....very inspiring! I have grown lots of Monstera deliciosa plants from seed...they are in 1 gallon nursery pots and should be a good size by Spring :)
Those are such beautiful plants and houseplants are a huge thing right now!
Thanks Mike. This is just what I needed. Long time fan. I will make a add today. I got a Longevity Spinach (Gynura Procumbens) Last summer, it is growing in my garden. I took a few clones this fall and decided to make it my winter indoor propagation project. I now have 14 plant that are in gallons that are cranking out clones (100 last round) and a meal every three or four weeks. I am sure I can make more then I can sell. I have 120 additional rooted plants and its time to take clones. Ebay low price, $9.99. I will let you know how it goes. I have friends near Lacy and would love to meet you one trip up there. #I Love Plant Propagation.
Awesome, Robert! Glad to inspire. Sounds like you've got a sound plan, just start small and build. You've got this!
Thanks for this vid! I'm one of those retired gals on a fixed income, in an apt.. I love plants, and propagating them. I start my seeds in an aero garden, and then sell or trade extras on marketplace. Locally. I don't make much, but it helps to pay for supplies for my hobby.
Right on! Keep doing your thing. You can grow it as big or small as you want.
$74.00 I could eat tonight.
I'm considering growing heirloom tomatoes seedlings next spring for resale (unsure the breed). I live on coastal SC and would like your opinion on the heirloom? This will be my 1st time doing something like this. So I'll most likely being a "sidewalk vendor" until I feel things out.
Very helpful, thank you! As stated in another comment: money is the(or “a”)root of all kinds of evil. 1 Tim 6. Just replace love with “worship” to get a better understanding of this profound ,often misquoted passage. But your explanation is better than the heretical false teachers all over the internet and tv. 😂
Mike thank you for this video and it's nice to make a little extra money but I get so much satisfaction and enjoyment doing this, that is where the value is. Also i live west of Charlotte NC and I have heard that the reaper pepper started in Rock Hill SC that's about 30 miles from me. Thank you again Mike.
Mike.....that was one heck of a good explanation on money. Awesome.....
Thanks Jeffrey 👍
Great video, I have actually made a couple hundred selling plants out of a downtown apartment this year thanks to you! I also presold about 100 pepper plants so thanks for the ideas and inspiration!
Awesome! That's great to hear, Adam. Glad you've been successful with it.
@@MikeKincaid79 Right after I commented that I got a call from a farmer who wanted to order 2500 plants which I unfortunately had to turn down, but just goes to show this works people!
Your best video in awhile I think. I have a bunch of cups of seeds I grew just sitting around. Maybe it is time to move them to new homes and make some scratch.
There ya go, Jonathan. You're on the right track.
totally agree on your philosophy Mike, great sharing :) love all your videos
Thank you! I appreciate you being here.
ayn rand has entered the chat
Well said. I like your personality. You have interesting way of explaining things 😀
Thanks and you're welcome
Had me saying amen to what you said at the beginning regarding money and what the perspective needs to be. Wise words we can use for any side hustle. I'll definitley be sharing this with my friends in the homesteading communtiy here on YT and elsewhere and actually I am hoping to be able to do this to help make money to make ends meet in the next chapter of life here. You know, I watch a lot of YT channels on propagation and honestly have found your channel to be one of the best and the instructions most approchable. So thanks for the great instruction, encouragement and all the rest. Appreciate your generousity and love for helping others. You are a great enabler for those of us who can't stop propagating! Thanks I think..lol Your propagating fool friend from Portland ~Patty~
btw, hope the hand is doing well.
🤣😁💕
Thanks Patty! You've been around here a long time and I appreciate your support. It really feels like a family we've created here and I wouldn't have it any other way. Glad to help infect the world with such an addictive hobby, lol. Thanks for being here, more to come! By the way, I really need to get down there and visit some of those beautiful gardens you guys have. I live just 2.5 hours north and have never been to them.
Money's like air.
as abundant as life itself!
@@sammiekaymusic Not quit what I meant. More like you have to have it, but I like your thinking.
Hey mike, I love and truly enjoy these videos. As a young 22 year old trying to figure out what I want to do with my life after graduating college with a degree I realized I don’t want to use. I’ve got one thing figured out for sure that I love growing plants and fungi. They bring me a joy nothing else does. As a young person without property, how can I eventually get to the point of where you’re at, or the point of purchasing a property and opening a nursery etc???
All love

Hey Cameron, I can really appreciate where you're at. I was just there 20 years ago but it seems like yesterday. Forget the degree. If it helps you get a job or move forward toward your goal then great but don't hold onto it so tight that you miss the opportunities right in front of you. Many people who have degrees don't end up doing what they went to school for anyway. Life is way too short, do what excites you and motivates you. My Dad always told me to forget the money and do what you love. When you get good at it the money will come. Each day, your life begins right now, and you can choose to do or be whatever you want. You live in a special time, in a land that is overflowing with opportunity. It's not perfect but keep your eyes focused on the 1/2 full cup. My advice is to first, get your finances in order. Get some kind of a consistent income source flowing, no matter how big or small. You're young and it's good to work. You need to be out around others right now, moving, thinking, making connections, etc. Work on building credit, not getting into debt, but building credit. There are ways to do this without any money at all. When I was your age, I walked into a bank and told them I have no credit but I want to build it. I want to take a $3000 loan out and put it all in a CD. They let me do it and I made payments on that loan while the CD grew in value. I paid it off early and then was able to take the money out of the CD and it was mine. I basically bought my own money (not junk or liabilities) and built credit while I did it. This really jump started my credit building. Save, save, save! Delay gratification! Be different than 90% of the people out there and actually save your money. Learn to cook your own food, mow your own lawn, fix your own appliances, and essentially become self reliant. You'll save a ton of money. Some people call me cheap. I'm not cheap at all. I just recently bought my wife a 2019 Toyota 4runner with cash. I'm willing to spend a lot of money on quality items that will serve a purpose, but I'm not willing to nickel and dime myself to death on a daily basis. Adopt that mindset. As much as people hate to talk about it, money is an important part life. You need to master it while you're young. Read all you can about it and prepare yourself. Be patient. It takes time to achieve your goals. Our society demands instant gratification and it's not helping anyone. Attention span is about 7 seconds in this society (as evidenced by how fast the scenes change on a television show, lol). I've had this rhododendron dream for 15 years now. I still have it and I still keep slowly plucking away at it. I will achieve it, in fact, it's already been achieved in the future. All I have to do is wake up and hold that goal in my mind and keep choosing it. Just this morning I had a comment here from a lady that said, "It never works for me". My response was, "It has worked for you many times........in the future. You just haven't gotten there yet. Don't stop now or you'll change that course and never experience the joy that is already a certainty!" The one motivational piece of advice I can give in this regard is very near and dear to my heart and has inspired me to no end over the past 10 or so years. It was written by Neil Donald Walsh, "Yet here is a secret of all masters.......Keep choosing the same thing." Every morning, wake up and choose your goal, don't let your mind waver. You need to be constantly immersed with your goal. At your age, you need to be listening to motivational speakers like Zig Zigglar, Earl Nightingale, Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins, etc. All that being said, if you want that property and you want that dream, don't let anything stop you, go get it. But maybe wait for a year or 2 until the market crashes first, lol. In the meanwhile, be preparing yourself in all the ways I mentioned above. I have a 3 part plan for success that I started creating when I was young and it has worked wonders for me over the years. I've never shared it with anyone. Maybe it's time to start a series of videos on all this. I wish you the best of luck and an excited for what you'll do to turn the world on its head. Now get out there an make it happen, Cam!
@@MikeKincaid79 thank u I'm new and need to learn about
informative
Woo Mike well said brother 🙌...thank you for your knowledge. I'm excited I transformed my dog kennel into a 10x10 greenhouse. It's a start until Lord sees fit to help me get a bigger one. This is my dream , thank you for inspiring that..blessings to you guts
You're doing it right. Don't spend what you don't have, just focus on selling plants. Before long you'll be able to afford that dream greenhouse.
Wow! I never thought about doing this in my own home. Love propagating plants and barely have room for anymore but plants are my obsession. Love to see them grow. I will definitely be thinking about how to start this. I love doing this. Thanks for sharing. You ROCK!
Sound like a perfect business fit for you, Rosita. Good luck and have fun!
Great inspiration video mike keep up the great work
Glad you enjoyed it John!
Than yo 👍. I was meant to watch this yo were speaking directly to me - I always feel bad charging for my plants and honey and the products made from them
Hopefully this helps you out. I was speaking directly to you!
Send this logic to Adobe. Because they're set up to where it's like if you come repossess the tree you sold them last year and make them pay again because it grew more branches. I'm happy with what I started with.
I appreciate every video bro thank you 😊😊💯👍
No problem 👍 Thanks for hanging out here with us!
And love spending time with you ! Thanks for sharing!😊
A lot of the people do porch pick up. You have to go to them. If I was going to do this, I would have to do that..
That's getting more common too and you can easily specify that in your ad. Many people have no problem coming to your home if you're willing to do that.
Jesus please make him shut up and get to the point
I don't think Jesus works that way
Hi Mike, big fan here. I've stuffed 8 thick fig cuttings in a 1 gallon pot to maximize space. I have over 200 pots (200x8=1600 cuttings to sell). When can I transplant each cutting into individual pots and how can I minimize transplant shock?
I generally like to separate cuttings like this during the winter while they're dormant. If you need to go faster then you can do it now but it will disturb the tender roots a little. Shouldn't be a problem for figs though. For added insurance, wait to do it in the spring so they can immediately get outside and continue growing as the weather warms. Sounds like a ton of figs, good luck!
Thank you. I may have to start doing this.
And this is just one tiny little aspect of the subject. There are so many ideas that you can do to generate an extra income working with plants. Have fun!
Well Mike great vid as always. Question for u. Do u have the link for those air layering cups u tested. Cheers
No problem, Clive, here's the link: amzn.to/347KT0k
@@MikeKincaid79 legend, thanks bud
Can you do a video on how to package plants When mailing?
I was thinking the same thing
I've already done the video. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/lv1LFsnCOZs/v-deo.html
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you!
@@MikeKincaid79 I had already watched it also LOL! Great video. Thanks again. I’m supposed to remind you… To do a video on how and when to prune blueberry bushes
Mike, thanks for changing my life.
Ive been planning on doing this and propagating redwoods like crazy for 2 years and collecting baby cedars and dwarf alberta spruce as many as i can find.
I just had no idea about the sales part.
I had ideas etc but im an artist and a grower NOT a businessman. But once you mentioned value for cash it all fell into place.
Thank u for making it so sublimely clear.
If you are ever on the east coast drop me a line and stop by to see my nursery.

Chris (my dad's name, my daughter's nickname!), I couldn't help but wonder, did you ever start selling?
Also how do you best package potted plants?
Thanks for asking, Travis. I made a video about it a couple years ago: ua-cam.com/video/lv1LFsnCOZs/v-deo.html
I love it . Chase the value to others instead of chasing the money for yourself, and the money will come. Total inspiration for me . Thank you !
No problem, Michael. Glad this was inspiring for you. It's absolutely true!
I'm truely inspired. Thank you so much much for this. I've got rasberry seedlings shooting up in the grass, I may start with those. AND yes I did watch your vid on that, how to prise them out carefully, which is what lead me to this video. I moved from London uk to Plymouth uk last year and the garden is full of plants I can do this with.
So glad to inspire! You've got a spirit of "I can do it", and you will make it happen!
Talk about value! Sheesh. Thank you for this! This could be a philosophy.
Ok, I don't even like hot peppers, but I just ordered Reaper seeds!
Haha, it's addicting isn't it! Good luck and have fun, Roz!
You are very inspiring, your enthusiasm is contagious!
Happy to inspire! Good luck, Susana!
I love, Love, LOVE this video!! It's on like Donkey Kong! Lol I know it's a little late for peppers & tomatoes BUT....it looks like people are buying lettuce plugs and even English Ivy (crazy....I literally just cut down a ton of it!). The possibilities are endless and I can't wait to get started!!!
They are endless! Have fun on your journey.
