Follow the steps below to ensure consistent results and observe the impact of Chrysal products on flower longevity.
Phase 1: In store
We will start with setting up the simulation of the period the flowers will spend in your store. Follow the steps below to set up your test.
- Take two clean vases or buckets.
- Fill one with only tap water.
- In the other, add a Chrysal T-bag with 2 liters of water.
- Place an identical number of flowers in each container.
Let the flowers sit in the containers for several days to observe the effects of the Chrysal conditioner during the shop phase.
Phase 2: At home
For the next phase of the test, we will simulate the flowers being at home in a vase. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Transfer the flowers from the bucket with only tap water into a vase with fresh tap water.
- Transfer the flowers from the bucket with the Chrysal T-bag solution into a vase filled with 2 liters of water and the contents of 2 Chrysal flower food sachets.
- Every two days, take a photo of both vases to document the condition of the flowers.
- Send us the photos and receive a voucher for your efforts!
