Answer 1

Orchids will grow only in certain altitudes. Hosur, Coonoor and other hilly areas are best for the same.  There is a separate Floricuture department functioning in Tamil Nadu to promote flower cultivation and export.  TN govenment even offer subsidy if you start your business in Denkanikottai Taluk of Krishnagiri district.  If you are looking for free help, please contact Agriculture department located in Krishanagir or at Hosur.  If they are not able to help you, simply request the district collector for the same, as the govenment is serious in promoting Floriculture in this part of the state.

At Hosur shortly a SEZ for floricuture will be ready.
