Succulent nursery in Kenya
Propagate and sell labelled succulents suited to the intended growing conditions.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional nursery pilot: finish 40 traceable rooted Echeveria liners in individual 8 cm pots, aiming to offer 30 accepted plants after grading. The 30-plant outcome is a costing scenario, not an assured survival rate. Supply identified decorative plants with drainage/care notes; do not claim a cultivar name without supplier evidence or propagate protected material without verifying permission. The pilot excludes pesticide prescriptions and guaranteed rooting dates.
