Like peach and pear branches in Vietnam, heather branches are quite small and fragile, so the transport must be careful and gentle or it will break easily,” she said.

Therefore, many people are very excited to buy and play on this occasion because the green leaves look very cool, bringing ethereal and luxurious beauty to the room, Linh said.
