In Can Tho City, many gardeners specialize in growing and trading orchids. The current local orchid market is diverse in types and colors, each with a different beauty and scent.

According to people who have many years of experience playing flowers in Can Tho City, growing orchids does not require water every day. However, growers should use their hands to check. If the root is still wet, do not add water. In addition, after the orchid blooms, we should cut off the dead part of flower to prevent the plant from losing its strength. Next is the period of fertilizing and restoring vitality for orchids.

When buying orchids, stores and gardens might have temperature, humidity, and sunlight completely different from where people put them at home.
