Most tropical plants that are commonly sold as houseplants in Britain are forest understorey plants whose natural light levels are low, or are grown for foliage only.

So you have to prove that it can be grown and flower well here first before people will pay any money for one. Perhaps you could offer one for free to someone who is willing to try it (sorry, not me). Then you'd have a track record, and would be able to offer it.

People living in frost-free areas of southern/coastal Spain, Portugal and Italy might be more interested. They have higher light levels, and can grow a lot of tropical plants. But not all of them.
