You should consider the climate, soil, water, and pest conditions of your location. You should also research the market demand and profitability of different flowers.
You should clear the land of weeds and stones. You should also plow and level the soil. You should add organic manure and fertilizers to enrich the soil.
You should buy healthy seedlings or cuttings from a reliable nursery. You should plant them in rows or beds with enough space between them. You should water them regularly and prune them when needed. You should also protect them from pests and diseases with natural or chemical methods.
Exotic flowers are ideally harvested after they bloom fully, or a bit before full-bloom. You should cut them with a sharp knife or scissors and remove the leaves.
