Among those, 1.9 million orchids were produced for Valentine's Day alone, with this year's numbers expected to be around 2 million. The number of orchids sold annually in the country is approximately 6 million pieces.

Ahmet Korhan Çiçek, chairman of GardenKoala, Turkey's largest orchid grower company, told AA that productions had already started for Feb. 14, which sees a high demand for the blossoms each year.

Speaking of what is important when choosing the flowers to buy, Çiçek said that the leaves of the orchids should be green instead of brown, indicating the freshness of the flower.

"When it comes to growing orchids, it is enough to keep the orchid at room temperature in a bright environment. One of the points to be considered in orchid growing is watering. An orchid should be watered according to its root color. When the roots turn gray, it means the plant needs watering," he added.
