Things that people recognize and are easy to care for thats what most people seem to like. Jades and Spiders along with Aloes would be my suggestions.

Thats a good idea. Would you qualify Christmas cactus as something like that.

There is very stiff competition out there for Christmas cactus sales. You want to grow plants with an ooh..AHH factor, that that people haven't seen before. Orchid cactus (Epiphyllum) are awesome but take 3-5 years to produce a nice bloomer... but once in bloom, they sell for big bucks!
Check out my Pilea page. Aluminum, Friendship and Moon Valleys propagate and sell fast, but they only sell for a dollar or two.
