Be useful within your community. We offer our services to community groups who are always grateful for help. Here's one way we've been useful to a local school.
Every year, Chlorophytum Comosum (spider plants) produce several 'babies' which are incredibly easy to make into new plants. Just pop the cuttings into a jar of water until some roots begin to sprout, then plant into a pot, watering frequently until the maturing plant is settled. You'll have more cuttings the following year.
What can you do with all the cuttings?
From each plant, you could have 10 or more cuttings. You pot them up, keep a couple, and offer the rest to people you see regularly. The next year, you may have 20, 30 or more, so you pot them and give these thoughtful gifts to your friends, relatives and neighbours.
The next year, however, you have to be more creative. Perhaps offer to supply some plants to a local charity stall at the village fête.
This year, we contacted the local JMI school and asked if they would like some cuttings. They were delighted, as their Early Years Foundation Stage pupils love to grow things.
You can usually find and follow your local charities, PTAs, community groups, etc. via Social Media.
