Conditioning and Care
To get the best from your wholesale cut Bouvardia, please read the care instructions below carefully:
- Ideal temperature range 2 to 10 degrees. Lower temperatures may cause the flowers to wilt.
- Prone to water loss and sensitive to ethylene gas
- Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle with a sharp knife or scissors.
- Fill sterilised buckets with fresh, clean water and add flower food (optional).
- Place the bouvardia in the buckets.
- Leave overnight to condition before using.
- Re-cut stems every 2-3 days and change the water every time.
Never leave cut flowers in direct sunlight, near a radiator, in a draft or near fruit. The gas used to ripen fruit will harm most flowers. Keep the bouvardia in a cool place and always keep it out of the way of children.
