Meet Yemen's 'Plant Man'
STORY: Meet Yemen’s ‘Plant Man’
What first started as a hobby
has turned into an
entrepreneurial project for him
MOHAMMED SHAYEH, ENTREPRENEUR, SAYING:
“I was laid off during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time I used to spend a lot of time at home, so I bought a lot of plants and propagated the plants that I had. My house transformed into a forest. Then I started thinking - why don’t I start a project related to plants. This has always been my passion, and I have a lot of knowledge and years of experience in it.”
Shayeh set up his social media page in April 2021
where he would share tips
and information on caring for plants
As the page grew more popular
he started selling the plants he grew at home
“Currently, there are many people who don’t see plants as a priority in their lives. But the service we provide through ‘Plant Man’ encourages interest, whether this is because we offer a variety of plants, or the consultation we offer customers before their purchase and after, so that they can care for the plants.”
