Beauty and rarity are two of the head turner traits that make plants attractive. The lovely blooms add vibrancy to a room while its lush leaves give character to an empty space. People can get drawn to the greens and feel the need to get a hold of natures’ expensive creations – even if it means taking a giant cut from their savings. Plants vary in shape, color, kind, and of course, in price. As bizarre as it may sound, there are plants that can be as expensive as your house and even more than your total salary of 10 years of employment.
Life is constantly changing. Little do we know it, but plants are suddenly today’s luxuries. Coming from different parts of the world, the worth of several plants are based on its origin and uniqueness. Other reasons why a plant can be pretty high-priced include: the variety may bloom only once a year; it takes a whole lot of effort to grow, or it is nearly extinct. Some find that expensive plants make good adornments in their homes, while others like them simply because they can afford them.
