Liquid Concentrate & Powder
Use FloraLife Hydraflor® 100 hydrating treatment for all flower types to hydrate flowers after harvest and to rehydrate and condition flowers after a period of dry transport for increased quality and enhanced flower life. This solution improves the flow of liquids through the flower stems by clearing the water conducting pathways inside the flower stem.
