What factors affect the price of orchids?

1. Variety influence

The prices of orchids vary. There are many prices on the market, ranging from a few yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. The main factor that affects the price is the variety. Generally, due to the large quantity of certain varieties, they are not very precious and the price is relatively cheap. Some varieties are relatively rare and rarely seen on the market, so they are very expensive. Like the common spring orchids, cymbidium orchids, black orchids, sword orchids, and cold orchids, among them, cymbidium orchids are the most popular and their prices are higher.

2. Petal Influence

The shape of the petals is an important criterion for judging the price of orchids. Petals with beautiful appearance have higher ornamental value and are more popular with people, so they are naturally more expensive. For example, petals of orchids that look like plum blossoms and lotus flowers are obviously more beautiful than ordinary flowers and are more expensive. Ordinary petals, that is, the ones with long and pointed petals, are relatively common, and the price ranges from a dozen to several hundred yuan per plant.

3. Influence of fragrance

The fragrance of flowers is also an important factor. For flowers of the same quality, if the fragrance is strong and fresh, then the price will naturally be more expensive. If the smell is obvious, the price will decrease.

4. Speculation by vendors

The price of orchids is not always fixed. Due to the speculation of vendors, the price will fluctuate significantly.
