Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Dao, who created this work, said that she had to come up with the idea and consult with her teacher and colleagues several months in advance. She encountered many difficulties in the early stages of the work because the flower pot was quite tall, and the worker had to build a scaffolding to complete it. Furthermore, to keep the plant fresh longer, the flower branches placed in the pot had to be carefully selected, keeping the roots intact.

To preserve the Phalaenopsis orchid pot for a long time, it should be watered once every 3-5 days. Each time, the workers have to put a ladder to water from the top of the pot. According to Ms. Dao, the time to play with this Phalaenopsis orchid work lasts about 2 months.
