This month, the vibrant Hypericum is in the spotlight. Known for its distinctive berries in shades ranging from red and pink to green and ivory, Hypericum adds texture and richness to any floral arrangement. Whether used in autumnal bouquets or modern compositions, this versatile filler brings seasonal elegance and visual interest.

Hypericum Care Tips for Growers

To ensure Hypericum reaches its full potential in the chain, growers should implement the right post-harvest treatments. Begin with Chrysal CVBN or Chrysal Inicial to control bacterial growth and prevent stem blockage. Use the same products after grading to stimulate water uptake, improve leaf and berry quality, and extend vase life. To clean the leaves spay or dip the bunches with Chrysal LeafShine & Seal. This combination ensures strong stems, vibrant berries, and a product that performs reliably throughout the chain.

Hypericum Care Tips for Florists and Retail

In the store or flower shop, proper handling of Hypericum ensures long-lasting freshness and appeal. Start with hygiene: always use clean buckets and tools. Use Chrysal Professional 2 for flowers already conditioned by the grower to maintain vitality without accelerating development.

For finished bouquets and floral arrangements, Chrysal Professional 3 is the ideal flower food. It provides the right nutrients to support full flower development and presentation while helping maintain quality during the sales phase.

Hypericum Care Tips at Home

To help consumers get the most out of their Hypericum bouquets:

Use a clean vase and fresh water
Re-cut the stems 2–3 cm at an angle with a clean knife or scissors
Add one of Chrysal’s sustainable universal flower food options (such as our Recyclable or Paper Sachets)
Top-up water every few days
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafty areas

With proper care, Hypericum’s decorative berries remain plump and vibrant, adding structure and color to arrangements for up to two weeks. It's a perfect flower to transition from summer to autumn — and with the right treatment, it performs beautifully every step of the way.
