A Toronto entrepreneur is seeing growing success with her Detroit-based rare plant business.
Jocelyn Ho is known as The Rare Plant Fairy and she's making a name for herself by selling some of the rarest plants in the world. In fact, you don’t have to travel at all thanks to, an e-commerce company created by a Hong Kong-Canadian who’s set up a nursery in Detroit.
After spending about a year working out of her and her husband’s spare bedroom in Detroit, Ho said that in order to keep up with demand -- and to keep some of the apartment uninhabited by plants -- the business needed to expand. From there, exotic items could be imported from South America, Florida, Thailand, and Indonesia to keep her curated collection fully stocked.“Now, we have a lot of mother stocks where we grow mostly on our own. So a lot of our plants are propagated from cuttings, made from our mother plants, and some are grown from seeds that we that we actually make here,” Ho said.
