Mr. Nguyen Huu Mui - one of the largest flower garden owners in Ninh Phuc flower village - shared that for nearly a month now, his family has had to install an electric lighting system to turn on at night to stimulate flowers to sell in time for Tet.
According to Mr. Mui, this year due to unfavorable weather, flower care is also difficult and requires more effort. At the beginning of the season, the prolonged hot weather affected the planting schedule. Then there was heavy rain, so many areas were damaged, and people had to take care of them again.
To limit damage, gardeners have invested in greenhouses, net houses, tarpaulins, electric lines, etc. to proactively take care of flowers.
"Lighting at night prevents chrysanthemums from "sleeping", turning night into day to control harvest time" - Mr. Mui shared.
According to gardeners in Ninh Phuc flower village, this year due to the impact of storm No. 3, flower growing areas in many other localities in the North have been affected, and supply is not guaranteed. Therefore, traders from distant provinces have come to Ninh Phuc flower village to place orders to serve the Tet market, the number of orders is much larger and earlier than in previous years.
