Processing: Use Floralife® PAL and treat for a minimum of 2 hours (1 tablet for 2 L). Recut the stems (about 1– 2 inches) before placing in a hydration solution. Remove any leaves that might be below the hydration solution.
Pretreatment: Recut the stems and hydrate using a hydration solution such as Floralife® HydraFlor® 100 for 1 -2 hours (outside of cooler) or 4 – 12 hours (inside the cooler).
Holding Solution: After hydration, place flowers in a holding flower food treatment such as Floralife® Clear 200 and store in the cooler at 36 – 38˚ F
Vase Care: Recut the stems (1 – 2 inches) and place in a flower food vase solution such as Floralife® Bulb Food Clear 300. Remove any leaves that might be below the vase solution. Use a finishing spray such as Floralife® Finishing Touch to ensure the flower’s freshness.
Special Care Recommendation: Removal of the stamen can prevent stains from the pollen but the removal can shorten the vase life. Vase life can vary greatly depending on the cultivar.
