"Our Wen Xinlan in the Year of the Dragon is twice as large as last year. "Production will continue to increase this year, and it is expected that demand will still be in short supply for the next Chinese New Year." According to the reporter's investigation, almost all Wen Xinlan practitioners are full of confidence in this year's New Year's fair.

Wenxin orchid is small, colorful and fragrant, and has become the "new favorite" of family flowers in recent years. The reporter learned that driven by market demand, in Fujian, Hainan, Yunnan and other major producing areas, the production scale of Wenxin orchid has expanded, and the output has quadrupled compared with the previous year. With the expansion of production, the overall ** decreased by about 15% year-on-year.

The application forms are diverse, and the output continues to expand

It can be potted flowers, cut flowers, and is a good material for combination potted plants and floral creations, and the application forms of Wenxin orchid are very diverse. It is understood that at present, whether it is Wenxin orchid cut flowers or potted plants, they are in short supply.

Fujian Mingshi Flower Field is the largest Wenxin orchid production enterprise in China, with an annual output of 4.5 million potted plants and 18 million cut flowers. In the Year of the Dragon, they plan to produce 800,000 pots of Wenxin orchids, an increase of 500,000 pots from last year. Yu Xin, the person in charge of the company, told reporters that at present, the company has produced 500,000 pots, including the "Mengxiang" series and the new variety of "lemon yellow", which are sold to more than 160 cities in Beijing, Shanxi, Shanghai, Guangdong and other places. "According to the current order**, it is still not enough to sell in the late New Year's Festival. She said.

Huarong Orchid production base is located in Yunnan, during the Year of the Dragon, plans to market 500,000 pots of Wenxin Orchid, in recent years, the popular mini Wenxin Orchid "Mengxiang" series accounted for more than half. General Manager Jiang Enhua introduced that Huarong Orchid specializes in potted products, with an annual output of 2 million pots of Wenxin Orchid, and the sales will be good throughout 2023. During the Chinese New Year, the demand for red and pink series is even stronger, including 'Full House' and 'Colorful Butterfly'.

In the 2023 Spring Festival season, the epidemic has affected the production and logistics of Wenxinlan, and many companies have not stocked the New Year market, and it is expected that the market volume of the Year of the Dragon will be about 3 to 4 times that of last year.

In Fujian, according to different qualities, the shipping price of a Wenxin orchid cut flower is between 4 yuan and 7 yuan, and a pot of 4 flower arrows, ** between 40 yuan and 70 yuan, can be cut every year. The output value of cut flowers per mu is higher, and farmers are more willing to plant. "Plants that have been planted for less than 5 years are in the prime of life, and the arrows are tall and suitable for cut flowers. And 5 to 8 years old 'seedlings' are often regarded as potted plants**. A farmer told reporters.

Wenxinlan industrial clusters have been formed in many places

According to the reporter's understanding, Wen Xinlan has formed industrial clusters in many places in China, with different regional climate characteristics and different products.

Generally speaking, the flowering period of Wenxin orchid is 15 to 30 days, and manufacturers can gradually extend the flowering period by improving planting technology and variety selection. You Renwen, president of the Pingnan County Flower Association in Fujian, told reporters that the average altitude of Pingnan County is 830 meters, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the local production of Wenxin orchid is not only higher and more upright, but also has a longer flowering period, up to 15 to 2 months.

In the past five years, the number of growers has grown from the initial few to more than 20, with a local planting area of more than 2,000 acres and a planting scale of more than 15 million plants, and a conservative estimate that the annual output value of cut flowers and potted plants exceeds 200 million yuan.

In 2020, in order to develop the alpine cool flower industry, Pingnan County launched the construction of the alpine flower industrial park project, with a total planned area of 1,684 mu and a total investment of about 200 million yuan. At present, the first phase of the project (covering an area of nearly 600 acres) has been completed and put into use, the main product is Wenxin orchid, and it is planned to build it into a regional characteristic industry. The second phase of the project will expand the scale of flower planting, and build areas for exhibition and trading, sightseeing and tourism, leisure experience, etc., to expand the cultural dissemination of Wenxin orchid.

Another main production area of Wenxin Orchid in Hainan, as a native tropical flower, Wenxin Orchid grows well in the local area, in Haikou, Wenchang, Wuzhishan, Baisha, Qiongzhong, there are towns with Wenxin Orchid as a characteristic industry, such as Haikou Xiuying, Wenchang Wencheng, etc., with a total production area of more than 500 acres. The reporter learned that local crops grow fast, and growers generally prefer to produce cut flowers.

Since Wenxinlan's sales entered the peak season, there have been more orders in first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and orders in third- and fourth-tier cities have also increased compared with last year. It is worth noting that Wen Xinlan is not tolerant to cold, and delivery in autumn and winter must pay attention to heat preservation, even if it is a short road from the container truck to the flower shop.

The varieties are gradually enriched, and the quality is significantly improved

At the 2023 Cross-Strait Flower Expo, the Wenxin orchid variety 'Lime Green' potted plant displayed by Fujian Laixianghui Agricultural Ecological Development *** won the gold medal, and it is also the only Wenxin orchid potted plant that won the gold medal at the exhibition.

Lu Changqiao, the person in charge of Lai Xianghui Company, told reporters that compared with 'lemon yellow', 'lemon green' petals are larger, the texture is firmer, and the flower color is more vivid. Before the exhibition, the company carefully created a light and flexible shape according to the characteristics of its plant type, which won the love of many visitors at the exhibition.

Lu Changqiao said that with the expansion of the production scale of Wenxin orchid in China, she is very concerned about the improvement of the competitiveness of enterprises, this New Year's season, she plans to upgrade the product at the same time as sales - 30,000 potted flowers in the New Year's market at slightly lower than the market price, and introduce new varieties after clearing inventory.

Although everything is easy to sell now, high-quality products will be more competitive in the future. We don't do it on a big scale, and we want to win by quality. She said.

Fujian Lufeng Agricultural Development has long focused on seedling production, with an annual output of more than 600,000 seedlings such as national orchid, hybrid orchid and Wenxin orchid. General Manager Li Suihui told reporters that in the past, producers would purchase seedlings from Taiwan and other places. With the expansion of the scale of the local Wenxin orchid, the company has increased the production of seedlings, and the survival rate is more than 95%, and this year plans to produce 1 million seedlings, which will reduce the seedling cost of local producers from 6 yuan to 7 yuan to 3 yuan to 4 yuan.

In 2023, the company will cooperate with the Crop Research Institute of Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences to carry out the collection and preservation of Wenxin orchid germplasm resources, the research and development of new varieties, the efficient cultivation of seedlings and the research and development of high-quality cultivation technology. This year, the Fujian Provincial Forest Seedling Station organized an expert review and identification, and the "Provincial Flower Germplasm Resource Bank of Wenxinlan and its Relatives of Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences" declared by the Crop Research Institute was approved, and the base of Lufeng Agriculture is its germplasm resource backup bank.

Varieties and series with long flowering period, bright color and fragrance are more popular in the market, such as 'Lemon Yellow', 'Dream Fragrance', 'Thai Perfume' and so on. This is also the direction of our future product development," Li Suihui told reporters.
