As the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026 approaches, the flower and ornamental plant market in the province is entering its busiest period of the year. In concentrated flower and ornamental plant growing areas, production, care, and transactions are proceeding urgently. Many traders from major provinces and cities have visited the gardens to survey, select, and place orders early, creating positive signs for this year's Tet flower and ornamental plant season.

In Phung Cong commune, the last days of the year attract many visitors who come to see and buy flowers and ornamental plants.

Phung Cong commune currently has over 350 hectares dedicated to growing various types of flowers and ornamental plants, with more than 2,600 production and business establishments. This year, in addition to traditional varieties such as camellias, begonias, poinsettias, bougainvillea, antique roses, and phalaenopsis orchids, the people in the commune have also introduced many new varieties such as multi-colored Korean chrysanthemums, woody sunflowers, and four-season camellias, contributing to the diversification of products for the year-end market. Mr. Nguyen Phuc Hung, a small trader from Hanoi, said: “For many years, I have always proactively sought out the nurseries here to survey and place orders early. The flowers and ornamental plants are of good quality, beautiful in appearance, and suit consumer tastes.”

According to Mr. Le Quy Don, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Phung Cong commune, by this time, more than 40% of the local flower and ornamental plant area has been purchased by traders. The average selling price has increased by 15-20% compared to last year. The market is favorable, and growers are excited. The commune proactively manages traffic flow, creating conditions for traders to purchase; at the same time, it advises gardeners to sell their products at fair prices, maintaining the reputation of the local flower and ornamental plant brand.

Along with flowers, the market for citrus ornamental plants for Tet (Lunar New Year) in Me So commune is also experiencing positive demand.

Mr. Nguyen Ly Phuong, Chairman of the Farmers' Association of Me So commune, said: “Me So ornamental kumquats and pomelos have been popular and in high demand in Hanoi, Hai Phong , Quang Ninh, Nghe An, etc., for many years. This year, traders are buying early to select trees with beautiful shapes and good quality. To date, over 70% of the ornamental plant area of ​​the people in the commune has been sold.”

According to Mr. Le Van Nguyen, head of the ornamental kumquat association in Thiet Tru village (Me So commune): The association has 180 members with a total production area of ​​about 40 hectares. To date, about 70% of the association's ornamental kumquat production has been sold. Prices are stable, ranging from 200,000 VND to several tens of millions of VND per tree, depending on shape and form. Thanks to relatively favorable weather this year, the trees have grown well, the fruit is uniform, and the appearance is more beautiful than last year, so they are highly appreciated by the market.

People in Tan Thuan commune are actively tending to ornamental plants to supply the year-end market.

In Tan Thuan commune, a renowned flower and ornamental plant growing area in the province with nearly 700 hectares, the market has been bustling since early morning. Local people cultivate a variety of bonsai trees such as Ficus microcarpa, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus microcarpa, Ficus microcarpa, Ficus microcarpa, and Ficus microcarpa, along with orchids, chrysanthemums, lilies, and hyacinths.

This year, the market is more vibrant than last year, with sales volume increasing by about 30-40% and prices about 10% higher."

 

Mr. Nguyen Van Chuc, a key buyer of flowers and ornamental plants in Tan Thuan commune, shared: "Since the beginning of November, I have been shipping an average of one truckload of goods to major provinces and cities each week; the early surge in market activity has helped growers be more proactive in production and consumption."

In recent years, the demand for flowers and ornamental plants to decorate and refresh living spaces has increased significantly, not only during Tet (Lunar New Year) but also throughout the year. Responding to this trend, businesses selling these items have proactively imported goods early and diversified their products. Mr. Nguyen Huu Thuan, owner of a flower and ornamental plant business in Pho Hien ward, said: “The demand for flowers and ornamental plants increases by about 50% during the end of the year compared to normal days. Besides traditional Tet flowers, customers are also very interested in mini bonsai trees, miniature landscapes, and plants for decorating balconies and living rooms. In addition to direct sales, we are boosting sales through social media and offering delivery services upon request.”

These vehicles are transporting flowers and ornamental plants from Phung Cong commune to be sold.

According to the Plant Protection and Crop Production Sub-Department (Department of Agriculture and Environment), the province currently has approximately 3,360 hectares of land dedicated to growing flowers and ornamental plants, concentrated in localities such as Phung Cong, Me So, Hoan Long, Tra Ly, Tien Hung, Tran Lam, and Tan Thuan… From now until the end of the lunar year, gardeners need to closely monitor weather developments, intensify care, and control pests and diseases to ensure that flowers and ornamental plants grow well and bloom in time for Tet; at the same time, they should maintain stable selling prices and improve product quality to ensure the sustainable development of the flower and ornamental plant market and meet consumer demand.
