Post-Harvest Flower Maintenance: A Comprehensive Guide

Discover effective ways to maintain the freshness and beauty of your flowers after harvest! Keep them looking stunning for longer!

Post-harvest care is vital for flower quality, ensuring longevity and vibrant appeal that attracts customers.

1. Importance of Post-Harvest Care

2. Timing of Harvest

Harvest in the early morning for cooler temperature. Use sharp, clean tools to cut stems at an angle for better water uptake.

3. Immediate Water Treatment

Use clean, cool water in containers post-harvest. Add floral preservatives for sugars and antibacterial benefits.

4: Leaf Management

Trim leaves submerged in water to prevent bacterial growth, keeping water clean and prolonging flower life.

5.Optimal Storage Conditions

Store flowers in a cool, shaded area or fridge to slow respiration. Ideal temp is 34°F to 36°F (1°C to 2°C) for freshness.

6. Regular Water Changes
