I pruned off the flower when it was about 60, bad idea. I'm selling it for 10, original price 12.

I'd trash it. It won't sell without the flower.

It happens sometimes with low rarity plants. I had a Fourpetal Ball Cactus that I kept until the 250s, and it just would not sell. I tried cutting the price in half and selling it both with large groups and by itself. I eventually cut off the flowers to see if it had a bad spot, but it didn't have any that I could see. Sometimes a plant just won't sell, so your best bet if it is a low rarity, cheap plant is to just trash it. Higher rarity plants always seem to sell well.

Just trash it.It won't sell once it reaches about 40 or 50 anyway.

I've had older plants sell without problems. Make sure that none of the little bumps on the cactus has died. With a ball cactus they can be difficult to see. If so, prune it. Also, make doubly sure that it is not infested. If the plant still doesn't sell, even after dropping the price a fair bit, just trash it and move on. It's not that we are talking about a $100 plant here!

LOL! I have trashed $100+ plants that wouldn't sell... I've needed the pot in the greenhouse for planned breeding more than the time was worth in adjusting the price, finding that there was nothing less to prune and waiting in the nursery.

It hurts, but some plants just don't sell.

I just started to play the game today, and that's one of the things I've noticed so far...some plants just don't want to sell. They're pruned, priced right, but no one buys them. I don't get it...and its darn annoying!

I think with the time you waste trying to sell it, you end up losing more because you can't use that pot to grow more.
