There are three months left until the Lunar New Year, but Chrysanthemums (daisy flower) in Binh Dinh have been sown for almost 1 month, and it is time for daisy growers to start pinching off the tips to encourage more blossoms. In order to meet the demand for Tet, the wholesale price for daisy pots ranges from $7 to $40 per pot, while the retail price ranges from $12 to $112 per pot, depending on its size.
However, flower growers in Binh Dinh are now concerned, as there is no sign of the rainy season, considering it is lunar September already. If the rainfall is late, then heavy rains during the flowers' thriving stage will affect their quality. Thus, farmers will have to bear additional costs to care for daisy pots.
