Using plants as a savings account

[uneng]

That is a very good idea. I've already done it once, but sadly, I lacked the investment to purchase bigger pots to replace the small pots from the seedlings. As the plants/trees grow you have to transplant them into bigger pots. That is unfortunate, but each plastic big pot is absurdly expensive here and the only option was to purchase on the internet, which turned into being even more expensive, because the transport fees.

Now I'm thinking about bottles of wine. I've heard it's a very profitable investment on long run. In fact, more profitable than assets. If you have a good taste for wines, know the grapes and the wineries, that might be a good idea for you!

I know people love plants. I did a venture a few years ago too - and I was profitable too. But I feel ill and I didn't have another back support and most of my plants died. This is very good small business idea. If you have a sunny space and a back up support as well. I would love to do it again when I have an investment.

Some plants need more care and are more fragile than others. These are problematic to grow, so I prefer the resistant ones, especially trees. I think fruit trees are a great choice, because even if you fail selling them, you can still gather fruits from them for yourself from times to times and maybe sell the fruits as well. There are some people who grow those fruit trees on the small areas of their apartments, so it's really executable, but as you said, a sunny spot is a must, otherwise they won't develop and will have diseases, especially due to fungus.

Plans are important things to do anything, without a good plan, we can be sure we will regret it, especially if we want to invest in Crypto which is a high risk investment because the price drops can reach hundreds of percent per year. With a good plan, we can have the opportunity to be a big profit.

Plant produce appreciate over time and it's most beneficial for perennial plants. Many still serve as exportable produce where it get even high value due to high demand from neighbouring countries. Agriculture has been the surest investment plan before oil and precious metals drifted the attention of investors

The market around plants, vegetables and flowers are too broad. Some do appreciate in value over time depending on the rarity of it and how well you will be able to grow it but not all. Also, if you would like to export the plants, you must either have a good amount of it or either has a great quality to even consider export, if not then stick with your local market. But then again it will depend on which plant you invest with.
On the other hand, I have seen a lot of people who chose to invest on mushrooms as it doesn't really require too much and you can grow on your backyard.

Plants could save everything so any investment or business involving planting will surely benefit not just us but also the environment. It could save us from hunger and even poverty in the future as well as natural disasters. I hope more people would appreciate the planting and see its worth not just as a material investment but also as environmental savings.

plant investment???
I don't know how to apply it whether we have to be farmers or farm or save some grain for resale.....
I myself am one of those people who invest my money in agriculture by buying land to plant, while the yield from the plantation depends on the market and supply so I don't claim the possibility of loss when the price is cheap but the garden (land) that we buy is definitely profitable because of the price. which tends to increase from year to year

Commodities should boom over the next decade it was going to happen even before current supply failures.    Simply we have a growing Global GDP and population and only so many resources to supply that demand, at the same time the oversupply of central bank debt has been excessive and does not relate to production.   That should mean the price of commodities rises strongly for many years.
  The reason to be cautious on any growth related product like this is commodities are a sector which can half in price at times.  Its not as easy as it appears, you will have competition on top of all the other worries the market is never entirely stable and some parts of the world are far better for producing then others.
    I think in a gold rush the man who sells shovels makes the most money as the supplier of all entrants at a known price and cost, so in this case that would be agriculture fertilizer which equates to the energy required to create massive amounts of produce year after year, season after season consistently to your customers.

I once worked on a project - that was so beautiful. A woman was running it. It was about edible garden.
Where on land you can have beautiful birds and rent the place for parties and have edible garden - by selling the crops you can make money. i always wish I could do that some point of time.

After reading OP I find out some problems with this idea. There is no doubt that planting tree for the long term is a good idea but commodities are better than this.

1. What if you need money urgently after a few years? The plant requires a lot of time and care to become a valuable asset. In this case, your gold or silver saving is a better option.

2. Plant needs money to be taken good care of. You need to water them and give them necessary medicine to grow but commodity like gold and silver only requires a place where they will be safe.

3. Your plant could be affected by a natural disaster which will not be in the case of a physical commodity.

Though I like to keep my savings in physical commodities but planting trees with some money is also preferable.

This is actually not a bad idea. Too bad though, not a lot of people are willing to put in the effort for these type of things. Because let's face it, taking care of plants isn't easy and requires tons of time and work. It isn't something you can just decide on a whim without a plan. Not to mention the basic knowledge required to nurture plants since every plant is different form the other having different needs to survive let alone grow well. This is why I really respect farmers that has acres of lands filled with a wide variety of plants. These people are amazing and something that the world cannot afford to lose.

That correct - Plants are life. We can survive without so many other luxuries but we cannot survive without food.
Having an organic and hygienic food is a very good idea. People are doing rooftop gardening. They are putting plants in their balconies and they are living their life eating healthy food.

Not bad but it's a very good idea. We already saw one sample of the op on how much a plant can cost. Imagine if you grow the plant well? Not only that but if the inflation hikes more or if there is a shortage in food? (as what the OP said) Which is expected.

I think the demand for plants are also going to skyrocket so more money will be poured for you. For us guys we think it's hard or we think we are lazy to do this type of work but what about women? Our wives, girlfriends, sisters? We can recommend it to them but we are only the ones that will provide capital for them to get started. The profit will be made is of course will be shared to the both of you.

We live in a world where everybody is in a haste. The virtue of patience seems to to going down the drain. People want to invest today and get profit immediately. This is the reason for the high rate of Ponzi schemes and scam establishments. Only few investors want to patient and watch their investment grow. Investing in agriculture is one of the less risky business ventures but people stay away from it because of lack of patience. It is some how not prone to inflation because food don't easily get substitute and its prices increases more frequently than it reduce. Recently my acquired few plots of land which would be used for palm oil plantation business and the financial analyst projected that he would start making profit in seven years. The question is how many investor would want to wait for seven years? I totally agree that plants can comfortably and reliably serve as a savings account.

Most of the people opt for organic way of giving fertilizer to the plants.
However not much big investment is need - what is needed is consistency and care to keep the plant growing - nothing special

[Dhaniii]

actually planting plants to save for is very good, you have already invested in your old age. many businessmen are now starting to plant secondary crops, oil palm and other long-term crops so that you become a big businessman. but you face challenges and a long process of becoming a great person.

Organic fertilizer could be good for nature but it can not prevent the attack of insects. If you are a gardener or have fruit trees then you must have to know how much take care and medicine fruit trees need to prevent any disease or attack of insects. Sometimes small animals and birds makes problems by destroying fruits. It's not like you plant a tree and expect tons of fruits every year by doing nothing. Also if you are thinking about making business here by selling fruits then you must work with a big number of plants not a few of them.

Plants are life - the add to the beauty of the place and they give peace as well.
Did you know there are many plants which are called oxygen bombs, and keeping them indoor will keep your air fresh and clean.
Instead of artificial plants it is good to keep real plants.

With global warming new and new ideas are coming up associating money with reducing carbon emissions and planting green trees. This is a great concept with the kind of pollution and global warming goals. I think planting tree should have monitory benefits and such a move can greatly help to eradicate poverty and make world a more livable place

That's correct - in our country - our PM was so concerned about global warming that he led a campaign of 100billion tree Tsunami, also during corona - many people started this small home based business - people said that they got rid of depression and they started minting money.
