At this time, the ^3,200m2 greenhouse area in Dan Tri village, Thuan Hoa commune contains hundreds of rows of Phalaenopsis orchid shelves arranged close together. On average, each tissue-cultured Phalaenopsis orchid brought into the greenhouse for 4 months is sold by Thao Moc orchid garden in Da Lat city to other places for 50,000 VND/plant; for orchids grown for 8 months to flower, they are sold for 150,000 VND/plant.
