BACKGROUND |
|
X-tend cut flower food and X-tend rose food are exciting new products specifically developed and formulated to enhance the quality and lifespan of rose and mixed |
bouquets respectively. Their formulations are based on extensive research conducted by experts in the field of plant physiology. |
|
When cut flowers are harvested it has obvious implications for the growth, development and survival of the flower. Their removal from the plant does not only influence |
water and nutrient uptake but also the balance in growth regulators that govern all the biological functions of the flower. In addition, because of the loss of leaves |
and the artificial environment in which it is displayed the flower cannot sustain itself anymore. It is also more exposed to microbial infections that could deteriorate |
the condition of the rose dramatically. If these factors are managed proactively it can increase the quality and lifespan of the roses on display. |
|
Three aspects that are managed by X-tend rose food and X-tend cut flower food to improve the quality and lifespan of bouquets are... |
* The flower’s ability to take up and utilise water. |
* The supply of the flower’s nutritional, growth and development requirements. |
* The quality of the water. |
