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.

Crowning Glory is like a hand lotion for flowers.  It helps to seal the surface of the blossoms and leaves of cut flowers, thus slowing the transpiration and water loss of the flowers.  Crowning Glory is excellent for use on corsages and wedding flowers.  It will also help to prolong the life of vase flowers.  To use, you simple spray a fine mist of Crowning Glory on your arrangement or corsage.  Allow the flowers to dry at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.

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.
