chrysanthemum rooted plants for cut flower production
chrysanthemum rooted cuttings available at talegaon, pune for rs 3/cutting
I can guide you through the procedure as we go along.
The out line project is some what like this
Planting mother plants -Early June
Take cuttings for rooting -August – September
Start planting 1st September onwards
Flush starts end Dec-Jan
The maths :
At Rs 3 /rooted cutting a minimum of
10000 cuttings have to be bought. These yield a minimum of 60000 cuttings between august and september , so that you get the flush from late dec to feb.
I do a 24/squ mtr plantation. This means an acre can take 55000 plants.
You get 80 sell-able flowers per plant after pinching it at 6 leaf stage.
In season a bunch of 10 sprays sells for Rs60-70.
If you prune the crop well after harvest and manage the lights, you can make your own plants for the next season and avoid plant cost too.
Investment is primarily for a plastic covered house, support net lighting and black shade net cover
You are welcome to bring up other queries and I feel confident that i can help you make your project profitable
So Thumbs up to growing chrysanthemums
