About 2 years ago, these wild orchids were picked by people from fallen forest trees to plant in the garden and fence around the house. To date, all 63 households in Vi Ro Ngheo village have fragrant wild orchid gardens.
Orchids are not only planted by people as fences around their houses, but when the rainy season comes, people bring them to Ngoc Ruong heaven gate to plant and return them to the forest. That is also one of the measures to raise awareness of protecting native orchid genetic resources. This is the most different and unique feature in Vi Ro Theo compared to other villages in Kon Tum.

"From December of last year to April of the following year, this entire mountain range was covered with all kinds of cymbidium orchids. Villagers did not dare to uproot orchids for fear of being punished by Yang. Many tourists loved orchids and asked to pick them, but the villagers "I definitely won't let them. Every rainy season, people bring orchids from their homes to the plantation forest to propagate orchid varieties," A Kieu said.
