Plant development and its duration, in connection with climatic conditions and other factors, are different for each plant type and cultivar. Deviations from the optimum care will lead to a shorter shelf life for the consumer. Post-harvest treatments do not have the power to influence the genetic potential of the plant and are not formulated as such.
Growing conditions: light, temperature, relative humidity, fertilization, growth regulators and crop protection have a marked effect on the quality of the plant.
Post-harvest conditions: temperature, humidity, light and ethylene gases in particular, determine whether the potted plant will be delivered to the consumer in good condition after harvest. Higher temperatures promote flower development. Humidity plays a direct role on water shortage by evaporation. Wide fluctuations in this and temperature promote the growth of the fungus Botrytis. Using the most suitable post-harvest treatment for each potted plant type is one of the key measures to get them through the distribution chain intact.
Hygiene: poor hygiene measures promotes the development of micro-organisms.
Distribution / transport time:Potted plants remain active during transport. Climate control, good packaging, post-harvest treatment and speed are very important for maintaining quality.
