TROUBLESHOOTING

Mold develops

Disease develops due to excess free water present during storage and shipping. Treatment at grower level, which allowed water to sit on flowers and foliage for an extended period.

Excess yellow foliage

Could be due to production conditions, old product, improper storage conditions, or extended period out of solution. Check on previous handling conditions and age of product. Do not allow to dry out. Use Floralife HydraFlor^® 100 hydrating treatment or Floralife^® Quick Dip 100 instant hydrating treatment and correct Floralife^® Flower Food solution and amount.
