(Baonghean.vn) - Flower growers in Yen Thanh, Dien Chau... are busy preparing for Tet (Lunar New Year). This year, the weather is predicted to be warmer than in previous years, so flower growers must know how to manage their plants to ensure the flowers bloom at the right time.
Yen Thanh district has about 1 hectare of land dedicated to flower cultivation, with people taking advantage of the winter season to grow flowers for Tet (Lunar New Year). In Dien Chau district, the area dedicated to Tet flower cultivation is larger, at around 10 hectares. Due to the primary demand from rural consumers, these flower gardens mainly consist of various types of chrysanthemums. Even though the flowers have only been planted for a few days, the growers are still busy all day long.
 |
| This year, Mr. Nguyen Van An's family garden in Hamlet 6, Dien Ky Commune, Dien Chau District, has 5 sao (approximately 0.5 hectares) of chrysanthemums. Three days after planting the seedlings, the first task was to install electricity to illuminate the garden at night. |
 |
| According to Mr. An, cultivating 5 acres of land for flowers requires thousands of meters of electrical wire and the installation of approximately 800 light bulbs. |
 |
| According to Ms. Pham Thi Ngoc Tuyet (Mr. An's wife), in order for the flowering plants to grow quickly and produce large, beautiful flowers, they need to be fertilized 1-2 times. |
 |
| To prevent the flowering plants from falling over or breaking, flower growers must use nets to lift them gradually according to their height. |
 |
| To encourage the flowers to grow taller, growers have to keep the lights on all night for almost the first month to increase the light and prevent the plants from entering a dormant state. |
 |
| Mr. Phan Van Hien, residing in Hamlet 3, Yen Thanh Town, utilizes the light from hundreds of electric bulbs to water his flowers. |
