According to The Wall Street Journal, the rare plant market is ... growing. Puna has the sun and the rain, and at $5000 for a cutting, you can probably afford the labor costs.
Among recent sales: $4,990 for a four-leaf Variegated Monstera Adansonii, whose prominent features include holes in the leaves and streaks of color; $2,800 for a cutting of the same variety with one leaf; and $1,250 for a cutting of a Monstera Obliqua Peruvian with one leaf and a root.

We grow a pepper that news sites say get $1,500/pound.
It is fake news.

The internet is a prime stalking ground for "there's a sucker born every minute",
"caveat emptor", "a fool and his money", and the like.
Thousands look at ridiculous i-net adds.
Only one has to fall for 'em to make 'em worthwhile.
