The 3,000m2 fresh greenhouse of Floricultura in Holambra Brazil is almost finished . It will double their polish acreage to 6,000m2 with the first plants getting planted at the death of April . In May , their growers will be shown around the nursery during the third edition of the Local Inspiration Days where 150 locally grown varieties will be showcased . Marco Heijnen , commercial-grade manager and creditworthy for the Brazilian mathematical operation , tells us more about it .
100 % locally grown - salutary qualityAccording to Heijnen , what ’s unique about Floricultura Brazil is that the young plants are 100 % topically grown . " Since 2014 , we are furnish locally develop phalaenopsis untested works to Brazilian grower . At that time , we propagated these plant in the greenhouse of our , now former , partner . In 2018 , we wanted to build our own nursery and so did we . " What came out of that desire was a 3,000 - beat glasshouse in which they focused on doing the concluding generation phase , something many other youthful industrial plant provider are n’t doing . " Most do propagation in one tray and ship it immediately to their customers . We decided to do it in two tray to secure a better uniformity as well as caliber , meaning that the youthful plants that are supplied from the Netherlands can acclimatize before they will be deliver to the growers . "
In 2020 , Floricultura Brazil started tests with grow the unseasoned plants 100 % locally and they were surprise by the results . " The quality was even better than expected " , says Heijnen . " We have the same greenhouse as in the Netherlands , like a refinement flooring by Erfgoed , a container system by KG Systems and a climate computer by Priva , but it seems that here plants oppose otherwise and are of good tone . Another benefit of these 100 % locally grown young plant is the lower production costs ; rather of shipping a young flora , we now only have to ship the flasks to Brazil . So , they decide to uprise their young plant in Brazil solely . "
ExpansionQuickly after , they started imagine of boom the ship’s company . " We are noticing an increment in requirement . For example , Veiling Holambra is produce 10 % a year and considering that every grower is obligate to deal their peak and works via the auction , we can say that the ornamental diligence in Brazil is growing , including the phalaenopsis segment . At some point , we had to make out with a lack of space . So , we decided to double our cultivation area to adjoin the current and future demand and to become a more flexible provider . It ’s an accurate copy of the first glasshouse . "
low production costsOn top of the abovementioned advantages , an extra welfare is the power to lower production costs . " We used to heat the water with a diesel motor railway locomotive , but now with the current size of it of the nursery , this can be heated by a Natalie Wood kettle , which in good turn lowers production toll .
country in the NetherlandsSo , what will happen with the domain in the Netherlands where the first phase of the untested plant life cultivation used to take place ? " It will be used for other plants to supply local and alien market " , he says .
Local Inspiration DaysFrom May 18 - 20 , when Floricultura will organise the third version of their Local Inspiration Clarence Day , grower will not only see the 150 locally grown varieties , they will also get the hypothesis to see the new greenhouse . Heijnen is very excited about this . " We are finally able to do the Local Inspiration Days as once designate ; due to Corona appraise the first edition had to be canceled and the second variant could only be visited by a modest mathematical group .
