Vase life of Eustoma grandiflorum as affected by aluminum sulfate.

E. grandiflorum (cv. Hei Hou) cut flower stems (40 cm) treated with an opening solution containing 0, 50, 100 or 150 mg Al2 (SO4)3 litre-1 immediately after cutting, were placed in chambers at 25 deg C with 70% RH. Al2 (SO4)3 at 150 mg/litre significantly increased vase life from 8 days (water controls) to 15 days. Fresh weights of treated flowers throughout the treatment, increased up to 8 days after treatment, then declined thereafter. Water loss from treated cut flowers was lower than that from water controls. Tight floral buds opened almost 100% during the vase period with Al2 (SO4)3, while few tight buds in water controls fully opened.
