This post-harvest treatment  is a ‘ clear’ product and does not contain Aluminum Sulphate or Chlorine, therefore it is gentle on the foliage and gives less risk of scorching and leaf drop.

Instructions for Use

Dose rate is 1 ml or 10 ml per liter of water. Place the flowers in the solution directly after harvesting or after (dry) transport. The colder the solution the better for the flowers. After dry transport it is advisable to cut the flowers before placing them in the solution. Recommended treatment time is between 4 and 9 hours. The solution may be re-used up to 4 days when stored cold. Our recommendation is  to use fresh solution mixed with clean water. Only use acid resistant  pumps, pipes, hoses and other materials with the solution. Do not use in combination with metal materials (iron, zinc, copper or tin).
