Breeder Profile | Chi-Shiang Tang

Hello, I'm Chi-Shiang Tang. I graduated from the Department of Sculpture at National Taiwan University of Arts in 2012 and later earned a master's degree from National Pingtung University of Science and Technology. My thesis, ‘Technical Development and Application of Vegetative Growth Inhibition, Micropropagation and Virus Elimination in Hippeastrum Elite Genotypes’, grew from a hope to find better ways to propagate and nurture the health of the flowers I love.

When I first began gardening, I grew all kinds of flowers and had much to learn. Most things came through trying, making mistakes, and learning along the way.

Little by little, that curiosity became a deeper love of flowers. I began collecting varieties I liked and eventually returned to my hometown to devote myself to work I truly enjoy.

I am grateful to my academic advisors for their guidance and support. They helped me gradually build experience and taught me to remain humble and keep learning.

The world of plants is vast, and what one person can come to know and do well in a lifetime is limited. I hope to give my time and care to this small corner of the world I love, leaving a little beauty that may still bloom in some future spring, long after I have passed through.

Over the years, I have collected more than a thousand hibiscus varieties and gradually selected over five hundred new breeding lines. Each flower reminds me how much there is still to learn.

Receiving the Overall Grand Champion award in a Hippeastrum evaluation in 2025 and being selected for Taiwan’s 8th Top 100 Young Farmers Program in 2026 have been precious encouragements along this journey. Both also reflect the support of my teachers and partners.

May these flowers, nurtured over time, bring a little gentle color to your everyday life.
