| If you are only selling flowers, you will have little problems. But if you want to sell plants to tourists for them to take home, you need to find out about phytosanitary certificates, and export permits. These must be made available to anyone that wants to bring plants back to their home country. If selling plants, you probably want to sell the best native plants you have, but will probably have to start them from seed to get the export permits, but this is a country by country thing, and I don't know about US possessions. These documents are absolutely necessary unless your plan to do things illegally. Don't think you should go that way, as the US is usually a stickler about laws.
You might want to try flasks if you haven't already. Start with one, and when you are successful with that, you can do more. I found flasks very difficult over the years, and only succeeded recently when I aggressively treated the plantlets with a systemic fungicide (Thiophanate methyl=Cleary's,3336, OHP6672, bonomyl, Fertilome Halt, ...).
