After 2 historic natural disasters, after many days of power outages, Kien Long chrysanthemum village (Binh An commune, Gia Lai) has now lit up and regained vitality. Chamomile growers are busy saving trees, hoping to relieve the Tet flower crop.
Unlike previous years, this year's Tet flower crop forces chrysanthemum growers to " close their eyes" to take care of and monitor growth every hour to make sure the flowers are ready for Tet, because the trees have weakened a lot after being destroyed by natural disasters twice.
The Tet flower crop is the source of life for the entire chrysanthemum growing family, so the concern for quality is even greater after storms and floods. Many households have to spend their own money to clean up, improve the land, and even replant the entire garden to save the year-end flower crop.
According to the owners of Kien Long chrysanthemum gardens, turning on the lights is a key step, helping to adjust the blooming time so that the flowers can bloom in time for Tet. If there are more storms and floods, a power outage will be considered a total loss.
Mr. Ho Van Hung - a long-time chrysanthemum grower in Kien Long village - said that this year's storm was so terrible that the entire Tet chrysanthemum garden was "spoiled" with fiber after just one night, but fortunately there were few broken branches and it could still be saved. Immediately after the storm, he had to spend a large sum of money to hire workers torap the chrysanthemum to save the Tet flower crop.
"I just hope that from now until the end of the year, the weather will be quiet and there will be little rain so that chrysanthemums can grow smoothly and bloom in time for Tet, because blooming sooner or later is considered a failure," said Mr. Hung.
Currently, the whole Kien Long village has about 10 hectares of chrysanthemum for Tet. After the storm and flood, most of the flowers were crushed and damaged, but not too serious, growers can still save the Tet flower crop.
Mr. Thai Van Tin - a chrysanthemum grower in Kien Long village - said that due to the storm's destruction and power outage, it was impossible to turn on lights and water, so the trees grew slowly, the buds were small and not as regular as in previous years.
"Now we have to turn on lights all the time to keep the plants growing, avoid blooming early. Near Tet, we will monitor the weather to turn off the lights, helping the flowers bloom on time," said Mr. Tin.
For chrysanthemum growers in Kien Long village, the fullness of Tet is associated with the Tet flower crop. No matter how hard it is, they still try their best to save each flower pot, hoping for a warm spring.
