Here in the Philippines, growing plants is actually a very profitable business.

A lot of people are into plants, and are obsessed with having the rare varieties in their garden to show off to other people. It is actually a good thing that people are now getting engaged into this industry, as it helps the environment have its lungs back and to provide cleaner air and greener surroundings which is pleasant to the eyes.

As someone who dabbled in gene editing and similar things, I am somewhat interested in using my knowledge to grow and culture rare variants of plants and do it as my other business. It'll be a worthwhile endeavor a few years from now, but I haven't got the time and the passion to do just that just yet.
I think it very important for everyone to keep some plant at home. Indoor of outdoor. It teaches you patience. It helps to maintain a healthy routine and it also help to make you punctual> Try it - thank me later. If you are beginners and can not keep plants because you forget to water them - try hydroponics. and see the plants growing.

Using plants as savings is the dream of almost everyone, both in big cities, small cities and even remote villages, plants are natural beauty that can make us comfortable and can also make our economy better, many people from other countries come to where I live, because where I live a lot of beautiful plants and can cool the eyes and the air is still very natural here.
Plants are beauty - it helps keep people and environment healthy. It also needs a small investment and a lot of energy and consistency to bring business to life.
i did try this - but then i went unwell and my plants started withering. But this a very beautiful business. One should surly try.

Plants provide many benefits, in addition to soothing the eyes, with the presence of plants can also be used as a business field, let alone producing oxygen from plants. In my country, there are currently aviaries, where the concept of forest is brought in the middle of the city, so that they can enjoy the atmosphere of the forest in the city. Various types of plants are planted so that we can feel the coolness, and surprisingly, the costs incurred are very large

We may have other options available like small plants or trees. One interesting aspect to consider is plants and trees tend to grow physically larger over time, which only increases their value. Not only can plants be an investment but they can also appreciate in value over time, earning interest.
This is actually what my parents and also most people in my local area doing so far. They have large fields in several areas. Most of them are planted with plants/trees called albasia, teak, mahogany, and other types of wood grown for years. The bigger and taller it grows and the cambium in it, the higher the price. Not only this type of tree but also fruits can also be used as a valuable investment.
However, this may not apply to vegetables because their prices are uncertain, sometimes at harvest time the prices drop so much that many farmers end up going bankrupt.

Whatever the investment, as long as we know what to invest in and how to invest smartly and wisely, we can actually take profits from this. We can learn from many things and everywhere for investment. Like now, investing is not only in the stock, poverty, or even the real things but also in this cryptocurrency.

The thing is you need a large yard if you want to have a garden to fulfill your daily life foods, if you only have small yard, your plants won't enough to fill your daily foods. If your house doesn't have a large yard, you need to buy land and it's expensive. It's just a cost for land alone and you need to buy seeds, moss, etc etc to take care your plants. It's not really that easy to grow a plants, but this is a good diversification of investment.
Me mostly focused when it comes to real estate rather than going with agricultural lands but I do have both but I'm not really that focusing on agricultural.Yes it's true that having plants and now it does getting some value then it's not a bad idea on considering this option which it could really potentially able to to make you earn even more despite of other sources you do have but of course something like this doesn't involved small amount of money or capital that's why lots can't really able to get involved with.

plant investment???
I don't know how to apply it whether we have to be farmers or farm or save some grain for resale.....
I myself am one of those people who invest my money in agriculture by buying land to plant, while the yield from the plantation depends on the market and supply so I don't claim the possibility of loss when the price is cheap but the garden (land) that we buy is definitely profitable because of the price. which tends to increase from year to year
I once worked on a project - that was so beautiful. A woman was running it. It was about edible garden.
Where on land you can have beautiful birds and rent the place for parties and have edible garden - by selling the crops you can make money. i always wish I could do that some point of time.
I myself still have the idea to buy a land in the mountains and I will make a green tourism educational project where the place will be made a flower and fruit garden and several farms, this will be more profitable and we can relieve fatigue from working by seeing the beauty that exists and fresh air
but for now the obstacles are capital and land release which is not easy

In the Netherlands, "plants" are very profitable indeed, but if the police find out you get arrested

Food production is heavily regulated, and you can't just sell it in small quantities. For your own consumption it's allowed, but it's less time consuming to get a job and buy food in a shop. At least in countries with high wages.

In my case, I plant because I love it.
I have tomatoes, lime, chili, and more small plants in my front yard but it's not for selling but for consumption whenever we need it. Yeah, most of them are plants who bear fruits and vegetables not designs like flowers. There are times neighbors visits and ask for some of it and I won't be selfish to give them especially if it ain't that much.
It saves us a lot of money in a manner but we don't really count them. It's just like a hobby that was stuck in me, I don't really know why.

We live in a world where everybody is in a haste. The virtue of patience seems to to going down the drain. People want to invest today and get profit immediately. This is the reason for the high rate of Ponzi schemes and scam establishments. Only few investors want to patient and watch their investment grow. Investing in agriculture is one of the less risky business ventures but people stay away from it because of lack of patience. It is some how not prone to inflation because food don't easily get substitute and its prices increases more frequently than it reduce. Recently my acquired few plots of land which would be used for palm oil plantation business and the financial analyst projected that he would start making profit in seven years. The question is how many investor would want to wait for seven years? I totally agree that plants can comfortably and reliably serve as a savings account.
I have to say things are getting to a level where its not even that weird because we had 2 years where everyone was at home and even that went by too fast. We think that if we are given enough money, we could live a more comfortable life and do what we love, but even when life gave us all the time we needed, we didn't do many things to be fair.

I get that life needs to slow down, and money is not the way for that, jobs are not the reason we stay same neither. So, people are living a fast life hence why money very quickly so that they could go back to regular life they used to have as well in order to continue without having too much trouble.

With global warming new and new ideas are coming up associating money with reducing carbon emissions and planting green trees. This is a great concept with the kind of pollution and global warming goals. I think planting tree should have monitory benefits and such a move can greatly help to eradicate poverty and make world a more livable place
That's correct - in our country - our PM was so concerned about global warming that he led a campaign of 100billion tree Tsunami, also during corona - many people started this small home based business - people said that they got rid of depression and they started minting money.

actually planting plants to save for is very good, you have already invested in your old age. many businessmen are now starting to plant secondary crops, oil palm and other long-term crops so that you become a big businessman. but you face challenges and a long process of becoming a great person.
Plants are life - the add to the beauty of the place and they give peace as well.
Did you know there are many plants which are called oxygen bombs, and keeping them indoor will keep your air fresh and clean.
Instead of artificial plants it is good to keep real plants.

Most of the people opt for organic way of giving fertilizer to the plants.
However not much big investment is need - what is needed is consistency and care to keep the plant growing - nothing special

Organic fertilizer could be good for nature but it can not prevent the attack of insects. If you are a gardener or have fruit trees then you must have to know how much take care and medicine fruit trees need to prevent any disease or attack of insects. Sometimes small animals and birds makes problems by destroying fruits. It's not like you plant a tree and expect tons of fruits every year by doing nothing. Also if you are thinking about making business here by selling fruits then you must work with a big number of plants not a few of them.

After reading OP I find out some problems with this idea. There is no doubt that planting tree for the long term is a good idea but commodities are better than this.

1. What if you need money urgently after a few years? The plant requires a lot of time and care to become a valuable asset. In this case, your gold or silver saving is a better option.

2. Plant needs money to be taken good care of. You need to water them and give them necessary medicine to grow but commodity like gold and silver only requires a place where they will be safe.

3. Your plant could be affected by a natural disaster which will not be in the case of a physical commodity.

Though I like to keep my savings in physical commodities but planting trees with some money is also preferable.

This is actually not a bad idea. Too bad though, not a lot of people are willing to put in the effort for these type of things. Because let's face it, taking care of plants isn't easy and requires tons of time and work. It isn't something you can just decide on a whim without a plan. Not to mention the basic knowledge required to nurture plants since every plant is different form the other having different needs to survive let alone grow well. This is why I really respect farmers that has acres of lands filled with a wide variety of plants. These people are amazing and something that the world cannot afford to lose.
Not bad but it's a very good idea. We already saw one sample of the op on how much a plant can cost. Imagine if you grow the plant well? Not only that but if the inflation hikes more or if there is a shortage in food? (as what the OP said) Which is expected.

I think the demand for plants are also going to skyrocket so more money will be poured for you. For us guys we think it's hard or we think we are lazy to do this type of work but what about women? Our wives, girlfriends, sisters? We can recommend it to them but we are only the ones that will provide capital for them to get started. The profit will be made is of course will be shared to the both of you.

That correct - Plants are life. We can survive without so many other luxuries but we cannot survive without food.
Having an organic and hygienic food is a very good idea. People are doing rooftop gardening. They are putting plants in their balconies and they are living their life eating healthy food.
