CARE AND HANDLING INFORMATION
PURCHASING
• Anemones can be ethylene sensitive. Use suppliers that treat with an ethylene action inhibitor such as EthylBloc™ or FloraLife® EthylGuard at farm level to protect against exposure.
• Do not place near products that produce ethylene.
• Choose strong stems with closed or slightly open flowers.
• Inspect for bruising and botrytis.
RE-HYDRATION AT STORE LEVEL & STORAGE
• Start processing with a clean bucket, sanitized with FloraLife® D.C.D.® Cleaner.
• Dry packed stems should be conditioned to prevent blockage and promote uptake. Cut stems approx. 1+” using clean, sanitized clippers or knife. Treat with FloraLife® Quick Dip.
• Place flowers in a holding solution such as FloraLife® Express Ultra 200. Do not put flowers directly in metal/ galvanized buckets. Use clean, high-quality water that has not been treated with a water softener as salt levels can damage flowers.
• Store in a cooler at 34 – 38° F (1-3C).
• Allow minimum 2 hours to hydrate placing buckets in an area with good airflow.
• Always remember FIFO (first in/first out) when rotating Anemones or other flowers.
VASE CARE
• Remove any leaves that might be below the vase solution.
• If received dry, cut approximately 1” or more off stems. Use clean, sanitized clippers or knife, and treat with FloraLife® Quick Dip.
• Place immediately into properly dosed vase solution (water and either FloraLife Crystal Clear® or FloraLife® Express 300 Flower Food).
• Keep away from direct sunlight and fruits.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
• Causes for poor vase life: cut stage, product age, or storing dry for long periods.
• Opening speed is fast and vase life relatively short.
• If designing in foam, use Oasis® Maxlife foam to reduce potential burn. Check water levels of foam often to be sure flowers stay hydrated.
• Anemones are susceptible to stem bending; may benefit from upright shipment.
• Prone to mechanical damage, stems and blooms are very delicate. Bunches should be secure but not strapped tightly. Do not overpack to allow good airflow.
