Every time I did an arrangement with them--it sold right away or sold the plants in the arrangement. I know they are expensive. I think we sold a 5" pot for $7.50. <BR/><BR/>I am known for my unusual arrangements. The clients you are appealing to want something different that no one else has. <BR/><BR/>I layer my arrangements. I add something of interest that isn't at all tropical or oriental. Most people think of succulents and oriental trinkets. Instead..I grouped mine with another pot with a plant....a watering can with succulents coming out the spout which was on of my best sellers....old shoes with a grass for height along with the succulent...and my list goes on. I did a stacked arrangement on a rebar rod so many times I lost count. <BR/><BR/>I simply walked around and gathered anything that would hold a plant. Good luck with these as they have taking awhile to catch on. But this just may be the year with all the promotion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
