I give them away. Put a picture and note in Facebook Market place. So far positive experience.
Yes I've been selling several on Market Place.

I've basically closed for the year but have someone wanting a Christmas Cactus.

I have a huge Boston Fern that I'm sure is Root Bound. I'm thinking it could be potted in 4 pots but wouldn't look near as pretty as it does now.

I actually sell more on Market Place then any other way.

If you need to sell that, just put that very statement on your Market Place, someone willing to divide etc. any good gardener will understand

I have ongoing Hardy Geraniums on Market place. Need to put up Hosta's on it, but want help digging them up. too many I have.

First year we moved into our home, the prior owners had planted Pacasandra (spelling) flanking the front stoop. I hate them they captured so much leaves, raking was nuts. Anyway, Put an ad in the local community paper, Free Pacasandra ---you dig you take. Had 4 women show up, dug it all out for me.

I totally get this — greenhouse space fills up faster than we expect! I usually start by reorganizing and trimming back anything that’s overgrown, but when that’s not enough, I’ll compost weaker or duplicate plants to make room for fresh growth. It’s part of keeping things healthy and efficient. If you’re planning to refresh your setup, I’d suggest checking out garden organization tools, compost bins, and shelving systems — I recently got some great greenhouse accessories and supplies from Ubuy, and it made a huge difference in managing space. Investing in quality garden supplies really helps maximize yield and keep things tidy year-round.

Some plants I give to my Chickens because I don’t want them in n my Compost.

Right now way too many Aloe Vera. They grow and multiply so fast.

right now, I always have Hardy Geraniums to give away. Too many years with them and they nicely spread out. But free to anyone who wants to come by and get them, bare rooted. they are so easy to plant.
