Why are Callas, Orchid, and Cymbidium expensive?
Comparing Callas, Orchid, Cymbidium with other types of flowers, they cost double if not more. For example, 30 stems of Tulips cost $40 to $50, while 6 stems of Callas might cost a little over $150, and 2 stems of Orchid sell for $110 or so.
Orchids are very expensive to propogate and raise especially in volume. Even the most common orchid requires specific land constant, light, temp, humidy and Ph. Many also bloom infrquently or die after blooming.
Calla and Cymbidium, while not quite as picky, have similar issues.
The blooms themselves are not a resliant as tulips either and require special handling.
