Liu Shuhai is a florist at the Phalaenopsis production base in Zhangjiawo Town. Walking into the solar greenhouse of Liu Shuhai, the fragrance of flowers is coming. The colorful and competitive Phalaenopsis in the greenhouse has opened up a way for local flower farmers to increase their income and become rich.

"you see, the purplish red Phalaenopsis is called Man Tang Hong, the yellow one is called Summer Gold, and the small plant is called Man Tianxing. The growth cycle of Phalaenopsis is relatively long. Temperature, light and other growth conditions should be used to control the growth rate of flowers and ensure the florescence. " While enjoying the beautiful flowers, the reporter listened to the introduction of florist Liu Shuhai.

A few years ago, Liu Shuhai and several farmers rented three solar energy-saving greenhouses in the base. Among them, two greenhouses grow finished flowers and one greenhouse cultivates seedlings. According to his introduction, a finished Phalaenopsis can now be sold for 20 to 25 yuan. A greenhouse can grow about 15000 plants, with a net profit of more than NT $100,000, excluding the cost. The cultivation of flowers bulged his pockets.

The florist has his own small account and the base has his own big account. Since the construction of Phalaenopsis base, it has developed into a comprehensive base with advanced cultivation and breeding technology to achieve one-stop breeding, cultivation, output and sales. At present, the base has more than 60, 000 square meters of orchids, more than 100 varieties, and an annual breeding capacity of 5.2 million plants.

Zhang Minwang, head of the town's agricultural department, said that at present, the base has a flower trading hall of 40,000 square meters, 14 intelligent greenhouses and more than 300 solar energy-saving greenhouses. The intelligent greenhouse is mainly used to cultivate seedlings, which can cultivate more than 4.5 million plants in the whole year. Energy-saving solar greenhouse is mainly leased by farmers to cultivate finished flowers. Among them, 70% of the Phalaenopsis seedlings are sold to Beijing, Shanghai, Henan, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places.
