" The potpourri has upright cultivation characteristics , the color and direct contrast are beautiful , the ledge life is first-class and it also couple nicely with our other varieties , " says Richard . “ It fit out well in our schedule , so to speak . In improver , I feel it significantly better than the other yellow form on the market and I am confident that we will see that reflected in sales . “They started with 10,000 stems per week , in calendar week 15 this will be increased to 35,000 . That is to give the product prison term to establish make knowingness , make the market intimate with it , inspect the trade and bear show boxes to their client . It is also a thing of value the market balance , as Richard get laid . It can be quite tender . “ We set off with santinis almost 20 years ago and then the market was still small . In the interim that is of course different , because santini has become a serious product . As growers , we have been on 45 - 50 hectare of production for a long meter and that work well . When we top that , you instantly saw the prices strike . That went up and down for age , but it has come up in recent class . We are now on 65 - 70 hectares and every year we see a thin growth . "

I want to uprise the assortment that is in requirement and hope and of path I want to be one of the best . Quality is preponderant . That is why by nature I work with Floritec , but we also place in making our surgical operation more sustainable . For example , about five years ago we have spread over the roof of the warehouse with solar panels and we are search at paper rather of plastic cover . Because quality is also sustainable . But the most crucial thing remains the product , and in parliamentary procedure to be able-bodied to guarantee optimum quality during winter , we also commit in more light last year . I defy say that among the Santini growers I am one of those who utilise get off the most . ”
Apart from the Rossi , which mainly go to Russia , the assortment find its mode to all neighboring countries . France , Germany , the UK and also Poland in special are buying a major part . Located at the Papenlaan in Monster , where Richard has been found for 15 years already , the 3 - hectare size garden produces 250,000 - 300,000 stems every hebdomad .
