Florafresh is a liquid preservative for maintaining quality and prolonging shelf life of cutflowers. It is effective as pulsing or holding solution (soaking the cut flower stem for a short period) for chrysanthemum, gladiolus, rose, Shasta daisy and Bird of Paradise. It promotes the normal opening of flowers harvested at the less mature stages and better color retention of petals. Many flower producers and shop owners have used Florafresh for holding and opening cutflowers.
