More 11,5 and 12 cm potsOver the years , Torben has seen the demand for schlumbergeras in the 9 atomic number 96 flock sizes decreasing . " On top of that , it is becoming more and more of a price reduction product . The market - particularly retailers - requires a high phone number for low prices . We can not offer them for these prices because of the effort we put in the cultivation process to achieve our desire quality . " For this reason , we have noticed a little step-up come in the 11 till 13 centimetre , and a little decrease in 9 curium .

" We mainly sell direct and sales agreement were pleasing . I ’m not indisputable if there was a shortage of Christmas plant on the securities industry , but from all co-worker in the manufacture , I ’ve heard they have had a good season . "
