Understanding the Science of Flower Preservation
At Garden of Eden, we’re passionate about maintaining the highest standards in floral preservation. Our expertise comes from years of scientific research and hands-on experience in extending the life of cut flowers.
Key Technical Factors in Flower Preservation:
1. Temperature Control
– Optimal storage between 34-36°F (1-2°C)
– Humidity levels maintained at 80-90%
– Separate storage zones for different flower varieties
2. Water Chemistry Management
– pH levels maintained between 3.5-5.0
– Regular monitoring of dissolved solid content
– Implementation of professional-grade bacterial inhibitors
Professional Processing Protocol:
Our systematic approach includes:
– Initial stem cleaning and sanitization
– 45-degree angle cutting under running water
– Immediate transfer to pH-balanced solution
– Regular solution replacement every 48 hours
Environmental Controls:
Modern floristry requires precise control over:
– Air circulation patterns
– Light exposure timing
– Ethylene gas monitoring
– Cross-contamination prevention
Understanding these technical aspects helps us maintain our position as a leading provider of premium floral arrangements in the Bay Area. Our commitment to these exacting standards ensures that each bloom reaches its maximum potential lifespan.
By implementing these sophisticated preservation techniques, we can guarantee our clients receive arrangements that maintain their beauty and freshness significantly longer than industry standards.
