Buying Tips: Do not buy flowers that have leaf yellowing. Buy stems that have at least 6 open florets.

Processing: Remove foliage below solution level. Recut stems.

Pretreatment: Even if the stock has been treated with an anti-ethylene product such as EthylBloc^™ Technology, treat them again as soon as possible. Use one of Floralife's Flower Foods (see Holding Solution) to promote water uptake and hydration. This treatment will help increase bud opening, decrease flower wilting and fresh flower food keeps flower stems free flowing.

Holding Solution: Use fresh flower food at the recommended rate: Use Flower Food 300, 200, Clear 200, or Clear ULTRA 200 storage and transport treatments, or depending on water test results, Special Blend 300 for Hard Water or for Pure Water.
As a finishing touch to any floral design, spray Floralife^® Finishing Touch hydration and protection spray over entire project.

Ethylene Sensitivity: Medium

Vase Life: 5 to 8 days.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Yellowing foliage

Could be due to variety selection, grower practice or improper storage. Grow or purchase those that do not turn yellow as easily.

Abscission (flower fall), translucent flowers

Make sure an ethylene-action inhibitor pretreatment is performed and that one of Floralife’s flower foods is used. Change varieties if the problem continues.
