KENYA · GUIDE 0741 · EDITION 4.2
Indoor plant retail in Kenya
Retail correctly identified indoor plants with care instructions matched to typical rooms.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional retail batch: supply six snake plants labelled Sansevieria trifasciata using the supplier/RHS naming, each in an agreed approximately 15 cm nursery pot, with a condition photograph, care card and protective carrier. Decorative cachepots are excluded. The buyer approves a physical/photo sample and actual size before purchase. Ask about light and children/pets; these are decorative plants, not air-treatment or health products. Do not describe them as edible, harmless to pets or suitable for every dark room.
Who is the first customer?
Households and offices seeking manageable decorative plants.
