This 10 ounce tub will provide you with enough preservative / food for 30 quarts of
preservative - water solution or approximately 24 vase arrangements of fresh flowers. A
good Floral Preservative / Food is essential for maximizing the vase life of arranged
flowers. There are three primary ingredients in floral food / preservatives which
work in harmony to extend the vase life of cut flowers. The primary ingredients
include a sugar which provides nourishment for the cut flowers, a biocide which
inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria, and an acidifier, which lowers the pH of
the water. Review our pages on Flower Care & Handling
for additional information.

Quick
Dip
Hydrating solutions are designed increase the uptake of water by fresh flowers and hasten
the opening of fresh flower blossoms. Quick dip will help to prevent "bent
necks", premature wilting and stem blockage. Treatment with a hydrating
solution should always be followed by placing the flowers in a solution of water and
floral food / preservative.
