Why Are These Houseplants So Expensive?
As most of us know, houseplants tend to be pretty inexpensive. The most difficult factor of a houseplant is not supposed to be its initial price, but rather the work and knowledge that goes into keeping it alive! However, there are some houseplants out there that are shockingly expensive. Take a look:
The Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree
Out in the wild, you can find 50-foot-tall Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees deep inside tropical rainforests. If you purchase this plant to grow inside your home, it can still grow to be around 10 feet tall! Its price certainly reflects its massive height. These plants are sold anywhere between $80 to $100. In fact, decorators have begun to use this plant for home décor, driving the price up even more.
The Philodendron Minima
This plant is so rare that it can cost up to $8,150! However, it can also be sold for as little as $50. Though it is tiny in size, this New Zealand plant species may become even rarer in the future, making it even more expensive!
The Shenzhen Nongke Orchid
This plant is extremely unique because it is entirely made by humans, which is what makes it so expensive. If you purchase this plant, you have to have lots of patience while growing it. In fact, this type of orchid typically takes around 4 to 5 years to bloom, and when it does, it is extremely beautiful and produces a wonderful aroma. The price? Well, this ultra-unique plant can cost up to $200,000!
The Old Pine Bonsai
If you think those first three plants are expensive, you won’t know how to process the price of this plant! Like the manmade orchid, the Bonsai tree is beautiful, very unique, and of course, very expensive. The highest price that a Bonsai tree has gone for is 100,000,000 yen, or $1.3 million in Japan. This particular plant is called the White Pine Bonsai, and it is centuries old!
