The climate and soil conditions in Gia Lai are very favorable for development “After researching, I boldly took the plant from Thai Binh to experiment. Initially, the plant grew very well with little fertilization, especially for harvesting all year round.” Confidence.
According to Mr. Tinh, the technique of taking care of euphorbia trees is quite simple. Growers don’t have to spend much time taking care of plants with few pests and diseases and can quickly harvest high income.

According to Mr. Tinh, when the Hoa Hoa tree was 1-1 5m tall, he started hiring workers to press the top to make the tree branch. Only 4-5 main branches are kept on a single tree so that the foliage is evenly distributed.
From the initial effect, Mr. Tinh continued to destroy 7 hectares of pepper trees to expand the area of growing pepper trees to 10 hectares. in U Diep village (Kong Htok commune, Chu Se district, Gia Lai province). At the same time, Mr. Tinh also cooperated to plant an additional 10 hectares of roses in De Ar commune (Mang Yang district, Gia Lai province).
“Each year, 1 hectare of roses yield about 10 tons of fresh seeds. The current price of flower buds is about 100,000-120,000 VND/kg. At this price, the family earns about 250 million VND/ha. With 3 hectares of mature flower trees, the family earned more than 700 million VND. I see that the Hoa Hoa plant brings 4-5 times more economic benefits than coffee,” Mr. Tinh said.
Mr. Tinh said his family is planning to connect with people to Plant an additional 30 hectares of roses and then expand the scale in Chu Se and Mang Yang districts to 50 hectares by 2024. At the same time, build a factory to extract rutin and process products from this medicinal herb such as packaged tea bags. box…
The planting and harvesting of rose buds contributes to generating more income for households in Chu Se district. Some households have started growing rose flowers and thereby have a stable income fixed.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hop, Head of Department Chu Se district Agriculture and Rural Development said households in the area have been growing this type of flower plant for more than 4 years. Up to now, the whole district has about 20 hectares of roses.
Characteristics of roses are suitable for local weather and soil conditions, little care and little use of fertilizer, good resistance to pests and diseases. The year-round harvest is suitable for the economic conditions of local people, especially ethnic minorities.
