Lily Care Tips for Growers

For lily growers, ensuring high-quality flowers begins with the right post-harvest treatment. The choice of treatment depends on the type of lily. For lilies in general, Chrysal BVB is the optimal solution. This pre-treatment product prevents premature aging and leaf yellowing while improving bud opening and flower quality. It keeps the leaves firm and green and extends the vase life by an average of 50% compared to water.

For Asian lilies, Chrysal AVB can be a valuable addition. This post-harvest conditioning product protects against ethylene damage, reduces premature wilting and dropping of buds, leaves, and blooms. 

Lily Care Tips for Florists

Of course, you want your customers to enjoy their beautiful lilies for as long as possible. Always use clean tools, as well as clean buckets or vases. During the sales phase, keep lilies in Chrysal Professional 2. This conditioner provides the flowers with just enough nutrients to maintain their beauty and optimal condition without opening too quickly. Chrysal Professional 2 ensures a longer shelf life and allows the flowers to develop their colors gradually while remaining fresh in the store.

In the store, it is important to place lilies in clean water treated with Chrysal Professional 2. This ensures that the flowers remain hydrated and continue to develop naturally without excessive opening. Proper handling, including removing excess foliage from the stems before placing them in buckets, will further enhance the quality of the flowers. Inform your customers about the benefits of using Chrysal Bulbosus at home to prolong the vase life and allow for full, stunning blooms.

Lily Care Tips at Home

Use the care tips below to enjoy your lilies the longest:

• Place the lily directly in a vase with Chrysal Universal flower food or Chrysal Bulbosus. This will allow the buds to open beautifully, retain the intense colors, and the flowers will last up to 60% longer than with water alone.
• Cut the stem 2-3 cm with a clean, sharp knife or scissors.
• Remove fallen leaves from the water.

By following these care tips, you can ensure that lilies remain fresh and beautiful for an extended period, allowing customers to enjoy their elegance to the fullest.
