Finally, you should spray essential oils, biological drugs to prevent pests and diseases for plants weekly. Do not allow the plant to be treated by pests and diseases.

When the accumulated experience gradually increased, also when the flower varieties he imported had developed stably, he combined with borrowing more to rent a piece of land near the street with many passersby, and set up a facebook page to run ads. . Only after 8 months rose Garden His work was famous throughout Dak Lak and the southern provinces. Since then, income has gradually improved.
