Full Bloom is a liquid flower food for vase and foam arrangements.  It contains active ingredients to hydrate flowers and supplies sufficient food for their full development.  Enhances color, size, scent and full development of cut flowers.  Perfect for events and wedding flowers. 

Florists and supermarkets use flower care products, such as Chrysal Professional 2, to increase the water absorption of flowers. Dosing pumps, like the Chrysal Dosing Unit helps with the correct dosing, which is vital for conditioning flowers. If a non-clear (turbid solution with sediments) product is mixed with water, a sediment appears in some dosing pumps in which some mixture is left.

Flowers are harvested during various stages of ‘ripeness’, depending on market demands. Gerbera and Chrysanthemum seem as though they are ‘further along’ when they are in a mixed bouquet with flowers such as Carnations or Tulips. Flowers that have been harvested while they were still in the ‘bud stage’, such as Rose, Gladioli or Eustoma, appear to need more nutrients in order to fully develop.

Decomposing pieces of leaves and thorns, dust and other pollutants from the air, contaminate the vase water. All this decomposition, organic matter and molds make the water cloudy and dirty and can be a food source for microorganisms. The vascular bundles in the stem, required for absorbing water, can become plugged by this contamination. This contamination is especially evident on the water surface. When the water level drops, the unsightly scum remains on the side of the vase, dries up and becomes visible.

There is a logical relationship between the size, height and weight of a bouquet of cut flowers and the size, height and weight of the vase. Flower arrangers often have as a rule of thumb that the height of the vase should be between 40 and 60 % of the height of the bouquet.

The best combination ensures that:

Contamination of vase water is caused by the decomposition of the stems and leaves in the water. If stems have been damaged and start to decompose, bacteria from the surroundings (stem, container/vase, air, leaf) can develop and cause the stem to further decompose resulting in the clouding of the vase. Aesthetics and hygiene of the vase water are the main reasons for keeping the container/vase water clean. By cutting stems and removing the leaves under the water, the natural balance is maintained in the vase and your flowers stay in optimum condition.

Although you might be in a hurry it’s important to resist the urge to push the floral foam into the solution of water and Chrysal Professional 3. Forcing water into the foam creates air pockets resulting in the foam not soaking through properly which will cause flowers to become prematurely dehydrated and die. Instead, gently place the floral foam on top of the water and let it soak naturally.

Dehydration is a common cause for waste with plants throughout the chain. The issue occurs mostly during transport and in the shop. Also, certain kinds of plants, like spathiphyllum, azalea and hydrangea, are very sensitive to dehydration. If you use the following tips, you will avoid waste by dehydration as much as possible.
