- Edelweis can only grow in mountainous areas
Edelweiss flowers usually grow in places with an altitude of about 2000 mpdl upwards, also depending on the air temperature and humidity at these altitudes. So bringing down will only make this flower wither and die.
.
. - Currently edelweiss flowers can be cultivated mainly in highland areas. Examples are in the Dieng plateau. You can find and buy edelweiss flowers cultivated by farmers.
Usually cultivated by growing seedlings growing from seeds and scattered around the parent tree and planted in calcareous or sandy clay media with pH (acidity of soil) between 4-7.
.
. - Edelweis reserved
Indeed many have understood that pulling and bring edelweis down from the mountain is an act that is not allowed. And every climbing place has set up rules to appeal to the climbers not to pick edelweis, but there are still many who do not bother.
In addition to violating the ethical code of mountain climbing, revoking edelweis can be threatened with punishment according to Law Number 5 of 1990 Concerning Conservation of Ecosystem Resource Article 33 paragraph 1.
.
. - Endangered
In 1988, there were 636 stems recorded from the Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, one of the last sanctuaries of the edelweiss. Meanwhile in the area of Bromo edelweis rumored to have become extinct

So......
If you want to show the beauty of the edelweiss, do not bring it down from the mountain, but take the people to see the beauty of edelweis on the mountain.
The beauty of the real edelweiss is when you see the stems swaying in the mountain breeze, not when edelweis is in your hands.
Let edelweis bloom and heed the landscape in nature. Let's keep promise as a nature lover.
