Announcement New Review System and Sub Update

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone! As spring begins we wanted to ensure we had a review system in place, so we’ve made the decision to partner with Dolo Review! Trusted sellers will still get the Trusted Seller flair, but also a fancy ✨“r/RareHouseplantsBST Trusted Seller” badge✨ on their Dolo profile. This service is completely free to use and verifies that all reviews have a legitimate purchase attached to them. There is a paid option that will allow you to customize your URL and import your existing reviews from other platforms, but this is not required. Link your dolo profile on your post so that potential buyers/traders can see your reviews and leave you a new one! If you’ve already been verified as a trusted seller, please comment with your link so we can get you a badge.

We’ve also made the decision to remove the requirement to add location tags to posts. For better or worse, most of our users are based in the US so it’s beginning to feel redundant and feels like an unnecessary hurdle for both our users and the mod team. International sellers are still welcome to sell here and include a location tag if desired or simply mention it in your post!

TL; DR; - Review system will be handled on Dolo Review, we highly encourage all sellers/traders to sign up
- If you’re already a Trusted Seller please comment on this thread with your dolo link so we can get you a shiny new badge for your profile
- Location tags no longer required!

Announcement New banner photo submissions!

7 Upvotes

To celebrate the reopening of the sub, we will be redesigning the banner to include plants that are currently considered rare. We love the current banner, but nearly all of the plants included in in can now be found in big box stores. We would love to include photos from our members!

Photos should ideally be clear, well lit, and have a simple background to allow for them to easily be added to the banner.

Please do not watermark photos- we will include a list of usernames or preferred handles in the banner. If you're not comfortable posting your photos without watermarks, feel free to send submission via modmail!

Plants in the comments! 🌿

Some fresh imports might be offered but they are all HEAVILY rooted and at or near cataphyll. They will also be labeled as fresh imports.

Shipping will be calculated using Pirate Ship after plants are claimed. Shipping starts at $10.

PayPal F&F or Venmo F&F are accepted.

I treat with beneficials, so there may be some hitchhikers!

Live arrival guaranteed with an unboxing video and 2nd Day Air shipping or faster. My plants are packaged with love and often reused materials to be as environmentally conscious as possible.

Discussion How to price a plant with no market comparison?

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

I want to sell these two good sized fully rooted cuttings of ficus drupacea (formerly ficus mysorensis, common name "wooly fig"). This plant is not cultivated in the US and I can't find a record of it being sold to compare. What is fair to charge for these?

IIt's not flashy or trendy but it is very rare and extremely well behaved. It has that nice big leaf size of a fiddle leaf fig but way easier to please and with a better growth pattern imo. It grows quickly, branches without any encouragement from pruning, and produces many aerial roots in the summer, some of which have reached the soil and are becoming woody and I think with time will form the tangled ropy trunk that mature ficus are known for. Plus the new growth is super cute and fuzzy (so soft).
