On the occasion of Lunar New Year 2025, in the flower fields of Hai Duong province, farmers are busy taking care of and preparing flowers for the Lunar New Year. They not only plant flowers for Tet but also aim to supply enough flowers for the market during the early spring festival.
This year, people have invested in growing a wide variety of flowers to meet the increasingly high tastes of consumers. However, chrysanthemums are still the type of flower that many people in Hai Duong grow.
Kim Thanh District is a locality with many households growing flowers. People who grow flowers here have experience in calculating when to plant flowers so that they can sell flowers at many times of the year.
According to flower growers in Kim Thanh district, the secret to having chrysanthemums bloom in time for Tet is to follow the correct process from choosing the flower variety, choosing suitable soil, care techniques and pruning the tops.
According to Ms. Tran Thi Hue (a flower grower in Phu Tai village, Kim Dinh commune, Kim Thanh district), to ensure flowers bloom on time as desired, flower growers also base on the weather to cut off the power appropriately.
Depending on weather conditions, flower growers will calculate the time to turn on the electricity to support light and warmth and turn off the electricity at the right time so that the flowers can grow and develop well.
This year, favorable weather has created conditions for flowers to grow well, without pests or diseases. Currently, chrysanthemums in gardens in the province are growing well, farmers are focusing on care to ensure the chrysanthemums bloom big and beautiful.
At Diem Doan flower garden (Tan Hung ward, Hai Duong city), thousands of pots of gerbera daisies, purple chrysanthemums, roses, lilies... are starting to bloom. People come and go to buy and sell busily, the owner of Diem Doan flower garden is always busy, advising customers on how to care for flowers and choosing suitable flowers.
According to Mr. Tran Van Cuong - Head of Phu Tai 1 village, Kim Dinh commune (Kim Thanh district, Hai Duong province), there are not many flower varieties this year, so the price of flowers for Tet 2025 is expected to increase by 30% compared to last year.
"In general, the weather this year is basically favorable for growing yellow chrysanthemums. At this time, households in the village are actively fertilizing and pruning buds to provide beautiful, fresh flowers for Tet.
Hopefully, the purchasing power of customers during Tet this year will be higher than previous years and prices will also be higher, bringing joy to flower growers" - Mr. Cuong said.
