Your stock multiplies — a mother plant throws props, a 1020 flat fills with plugs, a microgreen tray goes seed-to-clamshell in ten days. Living inventory needs books that understand grow-out stages and the occasional flat that damps off. MadeKeeper tracks plants as the crop cycles they are, from prop to sale.

Say you pot up 15 pothos props from a mother:
Eight weeks of grow-out later they sell at $8 each — $7.56 clear per plant before fees, times fifteen. The mother plant, as usual, does not invoice you.
Selling live plants usually means a nursery license and inspections in most states — MadeKeeper keeps the sales and source records that paperwork asks about, in the app instead of a clipboard in the greenhouse.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Grow-out is work in progress: a flat in week three counts as WIP, not sellable stock. When it graduates to the sales rack, it moves — and the flat that damped off logs as the loss it was.
Yes — each tray cycle logs seed and medium in, clamshell ounces out, on a 7-14 day loop. Standing orders draw from the cycle, and you'll know your real cost per clamshell.
Pot, soil, and label — the plant material from your own mother is effectively free. MadeKeeper shows that margin honestly, which is why props deserve more rack space than most growers give them.
