CARE AND HANDLING INFORMATION
PURCHASING
• For Oriental and LA Lilies, choose stems with lower blooms showing full color, and on the verge of opening.
RE-HYDRATION AT STORE LEVEL & STORAGE
• Start processing with a clean bucket, sanitized with FloraLife® D.C.D.® cleaner.
• If received dry packed, conditioning of stem ends is recommended to prevent blockage and promote uptake. Cut approximately 1” or more off stems. Use clean, sanitized clippers or knife, and treat with FloraLife® Quick Dip.
• Place flowers in a holding treatment such as FloraLife® Clear 200 or 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 the salt levels can be damaging to flowers.
• Store in a cooler at 34 – 38° F with a relative humidity of 75-85%
• Allow minimum 2 hours to hydrate placing buckets in an area with good airflow.
• Always remember FIFO (first in/first out) when rotating flowers.
VASE CARE
• Remove any leaves that might be below the vase solution.
• Cut approximately 1” or more off stems. Use clean, sanitized clippers or knife. If received dry, treat with FloraLife® Quick Dip.
• Immediately place flowers in vase solution containing either FloraLife Crystal Clear® (the perfect choice for clear vases) or FloraLife® Express 300 (the no-cut needed solution).
• Keep away from direct sunlight and ripening produce.
COMMON DEFECTS:
• Poor opening if cut too green.
• To prevent bud drop or drying, insist that your supplier/ grower treats with an ethylene action inhibitor treatment such as EthylBloc™.
• For premature leaf yellowing, use an anti-yellowing treatment at farm level after harvest, such as FloraLife® Bulb 100 in Colombia.
• Pollen sheds stain whatever they touch. Remove them when the flower opens.
