Delphinium care tips for Growers
For growers, optimal post-harvest treatment is key to ensure maximum vase life and quality. Use Chrysal AVB to protect against ethylene damage and prevent premature wilting, bud drop, and leaf yellowing. Combine this with Chrysal RVB Clear Intensive to stimulate water uptake and maintain fresh, hydrated stems. This combination ensures strong blooms and a long-lasting product ready for market.
Delphinium care tips for Florists
Always start with clean tools and buckets to prevent bacterial growth. Condition Delphinium with Chrysal Professional 2 to provide just the right amount of nutrients while keeping the flowers in top condition without opening too fast. This keeps your stock fresh, upright, and ready for beautiful floral designs.
Delphinium care tips for Home
For consumers, advise them to use a clean vase, cut stems 2-3 cm at an angle with sharp scissors or a knife, and use Chrysal flower food such as the Recyclable Sachets or Paper Sachet in their vase water. This helps maintain the Delphinium’s vibrant colour and strength for up to 60% longer. Avoid placing arrangements in direct sunlight or near drafts.
With these care tips, Delphinium will shine in arrangements for weddings, events, or simply as a statement piece in the home, showcasing their natural elegance for as long as possible.
