Exotic Eustoma flowers have bloomed for the first time in Odisha in a polyhouse developed by the National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI).
Eustoma, previously imported, has now been cultivated locally, providing new opportunities for farmers to grow this exotic plant.
NBRI successfully grew Eustoma in hot conditions in Sambalpur district, showing the plant can thrive in Odisha’s climate.
Eustoma is native to Mexico and America and can be grown twice a year in Odisha.
