Culture conditions of plants (light intensity, temperature, hygrometry, fertilizer product intake and phytosanitary treatments) have a significant impact on the quality and duration of a flower’s life.
The main problems encountered after the cutting of flowers are:
- hydric imbalance
- growth regulators imbalance
- nutritional imbalance
Comparison of the methods for flowers’ preservation
Most conventional processes for flowers’ preservation require the use of chemicals. With ERGOvac™ there is no addition of chemical product, plants retain their turgescence and this is 100% natural. On an indicative basis, the following table summarizes the performance for some floral species. This list is not exhaustive.
