Irony: Bought bonsai apples to display for Tet but they bloomed into hibiscus flowers
It cost 300,000 – 500,000 VND to buy a dwarf apple tree, but after a few weeks the tree suddenly bloomed with bright red hibiscus flowers. That is the tragicomedy of many people being shared on social networks.
With only about 2 weeks left until Tet, many people are busy preparing to decorate their homes for Tet. One of the most popular choices is potted plants. This year, the most popular is the dwarf apple tree - a hybrid apple grown in a pot that can be both displayed and has "nutritional" value.
In addition to the million-dollar bonsai apple trees, there are also many cheap bonsai apple trees on the market, only about 250,000-500,000 VND/tree. These types of apples are sold by traders who fill their carts and sell them on the streets.
On Facebook, an account named N.D.T shared the story of his family's apple tree blooming hibiscus flowers.
On social networking sites, many sellers claim that bonsai apples are grown using advanced technology, so they bear a lot of fruit, and there is absolutely no use of 502 glue to attach the fruit. Customers buy them to display for Tet for a whole month, and after the fruit has fallen, they can plant them so that the tree will flower and bear fruit again in the season.
It is noted that although this bonsai is not a new product, it is quite popular with customers to buy for Tet. However, many people have been fooled when buying hibiscus trees laden with... apples.
Dwarf apple tree blooms hibiscus flowers causing a stir on social networks
Indeed, when looking at the photo that this person posted, many people will certainly feel attracted by the bright red jujubes hanging. However, when observing more closely the leaves and flower buds, many people will realize that this is actually a hibiscus tree.
Those who have known or encountered similar situations can only humorously suggest that the tree should be watered with 502 glue to keep it fresh. If properly preserved, this “buddha apple” tree can be enjoyed until the end of next year’s Tet holiday.
Similarly, Ms. Minh Lien (Hanoi) bought a dwarf apple tree to "play" with for 420,000 VND. This type of tree produces red flowers identical to hibiscus flowers but the fruit is 100% real apples - looking fresh and green, delicious to the eye. Not long after, the truth was revealed when recently the mice in the house looked at her "strange" apple tree. Yesterday, the mice made a mess, ate half of the apple, only then did she realize that the apple stem was attached with 502 glue. In fact, it is not a strange variety, but this is just a hibiscus tree with an apple stuck on it to make it more lively.
Looks nice but is actually just a "handmade" product.
In the same situation, on social networks, many people who bought bonsai apples to display for Tet were surprised to discover that the tree they bought was not an apple but a hybrid apple-jackfruit, a hybrid apple-hibiscus, etc. Accordingly, these hybrid apple trees will only have fruit fall off after a few days, revealing super advanced growing technology using "502 glue", steel wire technology or iron nails.
