So, can you make money by planting flowers and potted plants in rural areas? Below I have collected and sorted out for you whether it is possible to make money by planting flowers and potted plants in rural areas. I hope it can help you.

Lu Zhenhui’s fortune started with a pot of roses. At that time, Lu Zhenhui was working in a sweater factory. When he was hanging out with his friends, a pot of roses aroused his interest. After buying this pot of roses, he made friends with the florist. After that, Lu Zhenhui often went to the florist's garden when he had time. Looking at the colorful and delicate flowers in the flower garden, Lu Zhenhui was moved: It would be great if he could grow so many beautiful flowers! Finally one day, he asked to buy some and plant them back. That time, he bought 8,000 yuan a day, built a greenhouse, and started working as a "flower slave."

Due to the lack of technology and experience, the flowers and color of the first batch of roses were not very good, which also caused Lu Zhenhui to suffer a lot. He promoted to some flower shops in Tongxiang city, but received a cold reception, and finally had to sell them at a loss. The lesson taught him the importance of knowledge. After that, whenever there were lectures on flowers and gardening, he went to listen to them. He also subscribed to many professional newspapers and periodicals and studied flower planting skills seriously.

After planting roses for two years, Lu Zhenhui began to try planting lilies. As a result, this transformation brought him unexpected results. After the first batch of lilies came on the market, they had a "good start" at the flower wholesale market in Hangzhou. They were sold out as soon as they arrived in Hangzhou, and the prices were very high. Now, his lilies are very popular in markets in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Yiwu and other places.

Profit estimate

After planting lilies himself, Lu Zhenhui opened a flower shop in downtown Tongxiang and named it "Hua Nu Flower Art". Lu Zhenhui said that the reason why he opened this flower shop was not mainly to sell flowers, but to show customers the lilies he grew. Lu Zhenhui now has three branches in Tongxiang city, and each store is filled with lilies he planted himself.

Lu Zhenhui said that he originally planted flowers as a hobby, not to make money. He did not expect that the profits would be so huge now. He told reporters that the 8 acres of land where he grows flowers belongs to his family, so he does not need to pay high land rent. The purchase price of a lily bulb is about 3.5 yuan, while the selling price of a lily can reach 8.5 yuan, and the gross profit of a lily is 5 yuan.

Generally, around the Spring Festival until Valentine's Day, it is the peak season for flower sales. Lu Zhenhui produces the most flowers at this time, with at least 2,000 flowers on the market every day. During this period, the profit can generally reach 200,000. Yuan or so. Around May Day, when the second phase comes out, you can earn at least 100,000 yuan. In June and July, there are no flowers due to the hot weather. But during the National Day, Lu Zhenhui’s flowers were on the market again, and the prices were also very good at this time. Based on this calculation, Lu Zhenhui's Lily base can bring him at least 500,000 yuan in income a year.

Experience in making money

From the beginning, I just liked playing with flowers and plants, and later I made money from flowers. One conclusion Lu Zhenhui came to is that no matter what you do, you must work hard. If you can do what others can't do, you will succeed.

Lv Zhenhui’s entrepreneurial experience was not smooth sailing. Due to his unqualified technology and lack of sales experience, he suffered a lot. For this reason, he often goes to Haining and other places to learn planting techniques from others. He also goes to relevant training courses held in Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places. In order to master advanced planting technology, he also subscribed to many professional newspapers and magazines and read every issue carefully. After unremitting efforts, his planting technology continued to improve and he successfully opened up sales.

Industry Prospects

"In the next stage, I plan to develop lilies in the direction of branding and scale." Lu Zhenhui said that now the lilies grown on his 8-acre base have been It can no longer meet the market demand. As soon as it comes on the market, it will be snapped up by wholesalers from afar. Therefore, he is preparing to register a trademark for his lilies and then further expand the planting area. "The flower market is really good now. Rural people will buy a bouquet of lilies when they go to the hospital to visit patients. Such a huge market demand is a huge business opportunity for me.

"Lu Zhenhui said with confidence, "I must create the Tongxiang lily brand and let Tongxiang lilies bloom all over the country. "
