Most of you know me by now through my plant selling thread. I am now moving to the next step and starting a storefront. I will set it up as a sort of living gallery - with specialty and unique plants.
I am starting out with a very minimal budget, and no startup loan or funds. I do a lot of my own growing, and have quite a good list of stock to begin with, but not much else.
I am looking to see if anybody on here is interested in making donations to help me get started. This could include equipment, stock, ideas, or funds.
I apologize if this offends anybody, I figured I might as well try here, where I'm well known.
Thank you for reading, and feel free to PM me or post here.

Anyone want to help a fellow MFK'r out?
 
Hey Midnight - everything helps! I'm happy to hear your ideas. Thanks
 
Do you clone your plants? (not sure if this is a dumb question.)
 
Is this aquarium ppants or just standard yard plants?

If aquatic, Im sure you propogate your own. Saves a hell of a lot of money.
 
David, and Mystix - I have a list of what I am currently growing in my sale thread
In addition to those, I am starting many unusual and rare tropical plant/tree seeds.
In other words - something for everybody! (Except aquatic, I'm sorry)
BIGSPIZZ - that is not a dumb question. It's a great one, actually. Cloning (in the purest sense) is a very long, expensive process, used mostly only by specialized labs (like those that cloned the sheep) I grow most of my stock from seeds, or from bulk seedlings. I also grow the parents of some on my property and harvest their offspring. (Some specialized Orchid growers do use the cloning process, as well.)
Thanks for the questions guys.
 
You can clone a plant by doing a cutting at a 45 degree angle, dipping the fresh cut in "root tone" and then submerging the cut in water....(don't ask how I know this lol)
 
Bigspizz - Yes, that's a favored method, but it's called propagation, not cloning. Just thought I'd clear that up.
I do use that method for certain hardwood plants, usually tropicals.
