The magazine of the Society of American Florists (SAF) 47 The cost of these commercial prod-


ucts is less than a cent per stem. (And, by the way, homemade solutions, such as aspirin, table sugar, bleach, copper pennies, etc., are not effective.) In the table of commercial prod-


ucts, several categories of products are presented. Hydration solutions, used as pretreatments and during or following storage and shipping, contain no sugar. They are designed to accelerate water uptake and to restore the water balance. Sugar is not included, since sugar will promote flower opening. Flower food solutions contain many of the same components as hydration solutions, but sugar is added to promote flower opening and to extend flower life. The accompanying table provides a


comprehensive list of the care and han- dling products in the U.S. Choosing the correct products to nurture cut flowers during their journey will extend flower life. Use each product according to the manufacturer’s recommendations for best results.
