As soon as the weather is cold, I feel that the pace of the New Year is getting closer and closer, and the family is reunited, and the night talk around the fireplace is enough to resist the invasion of the cold.
Speaking of the Chinese New Year, some netizens have recently begun to think about what New Year's flowers should they buy this year?On the afternoon of December 18, the reporter came to the Fengqi Flower and Bird Market in Hangzhou and found that the "sales crown" in the current New Year's Festival flower market has to be Phalaenopsis and North American holly. And in these stages, the festive bonsai tree has entered the stage of order rushing.

It's too early to buy New Year's flowers, but it's a good deal
What should I buy for this year's New Year's flowers?
Well, this one is all right. A proprietress who was taking care of the flowers pointed to a bonsai behind her, phalaenopsis, bergamot, North American holly, junzi orchid, small kumquat, ** fruit, etc., which were full.
When it comes to New Year's flowers, some merchants feel that "it's too early to buy now", and some merchants feel that "it's more cost-effective to buy now".
Sister Ding, who has opened a flower shop here for more than ten years, said: "In the past few days, I have bought potted plants, all of which are used for housewarming and opening. ”

She feels that the best-selling varieties are different every year. In previous years, the best selling in her store was Junzi Orchid, and this year she has purchased all kinds of Phalaenopsis orchids, and the shelves are full of dazzling. ”
In Sister Ding's shop, phalaenopsis is about three or four hundred yuan a pot, all of which are flowers shipped from Kunming. "Whether the Spring Festival rises or not depends on the market.
Xiao Wu, an employee at another flower shop, thinks that it is cheaper to buy Chinese New Year flowers now, because the flowering and fruiting period of these potted plants are relatively long, and they can last until the end of the year.

The best-selling New Year's flowers are Phalaenopsis and North American holly. "His flower shop is in the middle and high-end design style, Phalaenopsis ** between 350 1200 yuan, North American holly is between 500 1200 yuan, "the fruit period of holly has three or four months, and if you buy it again during the New Year, ** may be 1."5 times more. ”
Is bergamot good to sell?The reporter pointed to the potted plants in the store and asked Boss Xie, who was silent for a while and changed the topic: "Phalaenopsis is still better to sell, the flowers are more lush, and it looks good!."”

Boss Xie thinks that it is inaccurate to talk about the best of the New Year's flowers, without discussing the number of branches and shapes. In his shop, the two-branched phalaenopsis with pots costs 50 yuan, and the eight-branched ones cost more than 300 yuan.
In the shop of the single boss, all kinds of orchids have become popular because of their elegance and freshness, and the entrance of his flower shop is conspicuously displayed, with many varieties such as Junzi orchid, Mo orchid, Hui orchid, phalaenopsis, etc., "Many people buy orchids." ”

Red is a perpetuate in the flower market
Mr. Geng bought a pot of North American holly and a bouquet of cut flowers, "not for the holiday, but for my lover." ”
The fresh cut flowers he chose were pink, and the North American holly was also a bright red fruit planted in a lake-blue ceramic pot, "Red is beautiful, China is red!."”
Red is the color that has been growing in the flower market for a long time.

Xiao Wu introduced, although it is called "holly", but this plant is not green in winter, before the winter comes, the leaves will fall, and red fruits will emerge, and after the next spring fruit falls, new leaves will grow, and the next winter will re-fruit.
Winter growth is better, and the red color is festive, which is one reason why holly sells well in North America.
In fact, there are not only North American holly plants that bear red fruits, but also caramelite beads with more compact grains, and firethorn with smaller fruits.

Boss Shan mentioned another "flat replacement": "Ten thousand taels are better sold, but the store is out of stock now." "A while ago, the **10,000 taels sold in his store were about 200 yuan a pot.
In another store, the reporter saw the variety **10,000 taels. Like North American holly, this variety has a large red fruit, but with significantly more foliage.

This ** is cheap, 85 yuan is enough. "Boss Xie's shop, North American holly is in 100 300 yuan pots.
He said that many years ago, ** Wan Liang became a leader in the New Year's flower market because of the name of Geely and the red fruit. About 5 years ago, the relatively expensive North American holly won more people's love with its more eye-catching red fruit.
In fact, North American holly used to be expensive, imported varieties!Recently, because there is cultivation in China, ** is cheaper. A proprietress said.
In addition, yellow varieties, such as ** fruit, small kumquat, etc., are also popular with consumers because of their bright and light colors.

Tree bonsai has become a "new favorite".
Boss, you can sell me one!"At a wholesale flower store, a consumer is "grinding" the boss and wants to buy a small tree to take home and decorate it that day.
The boss is also very helpless, these are all booked by big customers in the store, and they are still racing against time to catch up, "I will sell it to you, and the order will be delayed." Why don't you order the 20th to pick up the goods?”

On the second floor of the shop, the masters are busy making tree pots, and the ground is full of cedar branches, and one master said that it takes 30 minutes to make one.
Small tree bonsai is the "new favorite" of the flower and bird market, and many shops have it in front of the store - fir branches are compactly stacked in the shape of a tree, plus pine cones, foam balls, ribbons, and dolls, which is very suitable for the occasion.
Consumers want to discuss with the boss in the wholesale store, there are also ** factors, a bonsai in the wholesale store is more than 130 yuan, and in the rest of the stores in the Fengqi flower and bird market, the same type of bonsai ** ranges from 200 to 600 yuan.

When introducing bonsai, a merchant specifically mentioned: "I put lemon slices, and it will be very fragrant at home." ”
Another merchant pointed out that even if this kind of plant dries up, the color will be more beautiful and can continue to be displayed at home.
Different from the small bonsai spliced with branches, the door of the single boss store is a real tree, and there are a few small red lanterns hanging on the branches of the soil bonsai, and he is a little embarrassed, "The lanterns are out of stock, only a few are hung, and 360 yuan after they are hung." ”
