         Florissant flower preservatives - post harvest flower treatment for cut flowers
 

Lilium (lily)
 

Introduction

Lilies are very sensitive to ethylene, which can cause major damages like shrunken flowers, incomplete flowering and a short vase life.

Ethylene is a volatile hormone, produced by the flower itself in order to regulate flowering. Ethylene can also be produced by secondary sources such as exhaust gases, mature fruits or other flowers, which negatively influences the flower and is the origin of the mentioned damages. These negative effects can easily be avoided by means of a post-harvest treatment with FLORISSANT 100.

Effects

FLORISSANT 100 inhibits the effect of internal ethylene production by the flower and protects against external ethylene coming from secondary sources. Consequently premature shrinking, petal drop and incomplete flowering are avoided and vase life is prolonged. Once treated, the flower will no longer respond negatively to ethylene.

Dosage

Shake the container before use and add 2ml FLORISSANT 100 per liter water. Stir gently and use the solution for a maximum of 5 days.

Note: Always use clean buckets and clean tap water. Never mix an old solution with a fresh one. Avoid any contact of the concentrate and the ready-to-use solution with metals. Do not mix with other chemicals except Florissant to prevent precipitation.

Treatment

Prepare the FLORISSANT 100 solution just before harvesting. Place the freshly cut flowers in the solution for at least 4 hours. Do not leave the flowers in the solution for longer than 72 hours. The water uptake can be increased by adding Florissant 700.

Neutralization of residual solutions

Neutralization is necessary because the residual solution contains traces of silver. The process is explained in our special instructions “How to neutralize the residual solutions of FLORISSANT 100”.

Packing

FLORISSANT 100 is available in bottles (6x1 liter per carton) and jerry cans (4x5 liter per carton).

Precautions

FLORISSANT 100 should be stored in a dry and dark place. Keep the product cool but frost free. Avoid contacts from eyes and skin with the concentrated product.

FLORISSANT 100 is manufactured with the greatest care and is kept under constant laboratory surveillance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable if the product is applied incorrectly.
