After receiving your flower shipments, it's essential to rehydrate them to prepare for arrangement. Our wholesale flower food packets and solutions can be easily added to vases to keep your fresh flowers going strong for days on end.
How Does Flower Food Work?
Cut flower preservatives are scientifically formulated to extend the life of your blooms. A good flower food typically contains three main ingredients:
- Sugar (Carbohydrates): Provides energy to the flower, replacing the nutrients it would get from the plant.
- Acidifier: Lowers the pH of the water, which helps the stems drink more efficiently.
- Biocide: A disinfectant that kills bacteria and fungi in the water, keeping the stems clear and preventing blockage.
