Bhubaneswar, Dec. 18: The arrival of winter has pushed up plant sales in the capital. People are rushing to the various nurseries and splurging on the seasonal flowers and plants on offer.

Though a number of flower saplings are available in the market, the marigold varieties are in huge demand. Marigolds in several colours such as white, yellow, golden and orange can be spotted in almost every household. Similarly, the hybrid Inca marigold flower saplings are selling like hot cakes.

Apart from this, seasonal flowers like dahlia, zinnia, chrysanthemum (commonly known as sebati), aster and gerbera are also very popular in winter.

The saplings are also sold in earthen pots. Their price varies from Rs 1 to Rs 10, while the cost of the potted ones varies between Rs 40 and Rs 100.

The state government nursery has gained the reputation for producing flower saplings of high quality, but at a lower cost. Built on three acres, this nursery has sold more than one lakh flower saplings this winter.

“During winter, the sale normally goes up and the demand for seasonal flowering plants also increase. The sale starts from the end of August and continues till the end of January,” said superintendent of Capital Nursery, Pradosh Kumar Panda.

He also said that the people could visit the nursery from 6.30am to 11am and from 2pm to 5.30pm to buy the flower saplings.

Not only the state nursery, private nurseries are also having a good time this winter. Roadside vendors can be spotted selling plant saplings in front of the Unit-I daily market.

The demand for the plants is so high that people are taking potted plants and flowers on rent to decorate their houses during marriages. A potted flower plant fetches nearly Rs 100 to 150 per day during the marriage season.

“The demand for flowers and plants has definitely gone up during the last two years. This year, I have sold more than 40,000 flowering plants so far,” said Bijay Swain, owner of a city-based private nursery. The residents say the rush for flowering plants is also because of the fact that little care is needed for the plants during winter.

“Unlike other seasons, not much effort is required to nurture flowers in winter. At the same time, nurturing any plant gives you internal peace,” said Sanjuktamayee Sahu, a homemaker who bought a dozen dahlia saplings.
