CARE & HANDLING TIPS
RE-HYDRATION AT STORE LEVEL AND STORAGE
Start with a clean bucket, sanitized with FloraLife® D.C.D.® Cleaner.
Receiving dry pack? Prevent stem blockage and promote uptake. Cut 1″ (3 cm)+ from stems using clean, sanitized tools and treat with FloraLife® Quick Dip.
Place flowers in a flower food holding solution such as FloraLife® Express Ultra 2000.
Pro Tips: Do not use metal or galvanized buckets. Use clean, high-quality water with no water softener.
Store at 34–38° F (1–3° C) with 75–85% relative humidity.
Pro Tips: Allow 2–4 hours to hydrate with good airflow. Remember FIFO (first in/first out) for rotation.
VASE CARE
Remove foliage that would be below the flower food solution level.
If received dry, cut approximately 1″ or more off stems. Use clean, sanitized clippers or knife, and treat with FloraLife® Quick Dip.
Immediately place flowers in properly dosed vase solutions (flower food and water) such as FloraLife Crystal Clear® with Express Technology Flower Food.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
If foliage has been removed, Marigolds should be stored wet. Marigolds are especially susceptible to early wilting if exposed to drafts or excessive heat, so make sure you advise your customers to keep them away from air vents, fans, radiators, television sets and windows exposed to full sun.
