没人想收到一束枯萎的花。本文将介绍一些保持花卉从储存到送达的新鲜感的小贴士。

你可能听过那句老歌,四月阵雨带来五月的花朵。但如果你从事花卉配送行业,你会知道,把美丽的花朵送到客户手中,和四月的阵雨关系不大。保护花朵从种子到花瓶需要很多环节,因此紧跟健康花束背后的科学原理,能大大提升花卉的品质。

你觉得花卉生命中最重要的因素是什么?温度。一旦花朵被剪下并浸入花卉防腐剂中,其生存方式就仅限于储存在叶片和花瓣中的食物。确保花卉运输并保持凉爽,可以保护叶子和茎中储存的糖分,使花朵在到达花瓶的过程中能节省资源的使用。这些糖分对于支持花朵的健康生长至关重要。此外,寒冷的温度使花朵对有害化学物质的敏感度降低,整体寿命更长、更健康。下图显示了花朵在不同温度下储存5天后24小时的状况,展示了高温下花朵寿命的显著下降。
