Opportunities for niche UK houseplant growers:Exchange rates make UK-grown product more attractive to garden centre buyers

摘要

British flowering houseplants are on the rise thanks to exchange rates, with specialist supplier Dibleys Nurseries showing best practice in the field. The Welsh streptocarpus specialist Dibleys has shown how specialising in a small number of genera has paid off as houseplants have come into fashion over the past year.With the "vast majority" of houseplants being imported from Holland and Denmark, niche suppliers such as Dibleys are in demand as exchange rate changes mean UK-grown product is now more attractive to UK garden centres.
