Phalaenopsis orchids not only have lush green stems and full, symmetrical petals, but also have good feng shui meaning, bringing luck and prosperity to the owner. Therefore, in recent years, besides peach and kumquat blossoms, Phalaenopsis orchids are also popular with people during the Lunar New Year.
According to Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, along streets such as Pham Hung, Hoang Quoc Viet and Nguyen Phong Sac... many types of Phalaenopsis orchids have been sold to meet people's shopping and home decoration needs.
The stalls mainly supply Phalaenopsis orchids imported from Da Lat with many main colors such as yellow, orange, purple red, and white. Retail prices range from 300,000 - 500,000 VND/branch, depending on the demand for quantity, color and rarity of the flower.
The year of At Ty 2025 belongs to the element of Fire. The colors that are compatible with the element of Fire are red, orange, pink, purple and green, so most customers this year tend to choose pink flowers. Orchid landscape designs are also being creatively diversified by shop owners, from modern to traditional styles.
Talking to Lao Dong, Mr. Bui Huy An - manager of a phalaenopsis orchid shop on Pham Hung Street (Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi) - shared that this year there will be greater competition due to the impact of natural disasters causing peach and kumquat blossoms to fail, so people have switched to selling more orchids. However, at this time, the number of customers buying is not as much as in previous years.
Mr. An predicts that the demand for orchids will increase from mid-January. The store has prepared supplies and consulting and packaging services to bring the best shopping experience to customers.
In addition to direct sales, retailers also focus on display and marketing on social platforms such as Facebook and Tiktok. Mr. Thang - manager of a phalaenopsis orchid shop on Hoang Quoc Viet Street (Cau Giay District, Hanoi) - said that running ads helps reach more potential customers, increase revenue and expand the market. However, direct sales activities are still the focus.
"The current weather in the North is favorable for caring for and preserving orchids, and the flowers are expected to stay fresh and bloom beautifully for Tet. However, to keep the orchids in good quality, customers need to take care of them properly, such as placing the pots in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight and watering them every 3-5 days, not watering the leaves and flowers to avoid fungus" - Mr. Thang shared.
In feng shui, orchids are considered a symbol of balance, harmony and luck. Placing a pot of orchids in the house not only beautifies the space but also attracts positive energy and fortune. Traders promise that orchid prices will be stable and will not fluctuate much, to ensure the best experience for customers during this Tet holiday.
