The Plant Gallery Test Results
New Orleans, Louisiana

Observation and Problems

Failure of cut flowers to open, premature closing of open flowers, sleepiness (a wilted look), leaf yellowing and leaves dropping off. Foliage plants dropping leaves and flowers. Roses and other flowers experiencing rapid flower opening.

Solution

Flower Power filters were installed in the floral coolers in order to reduce the ethylene gas that the flowers and plants were producing and eliminate the excess condensation that had been present. As a result, the Flower Power installation created a healthier environment for the cut flowers and plants.

Results

The owner of the Plant Gallery, Mr. Ken Rabalais, responded, "The Flower Power Filter system reduced the ethylene gas thereby allowing the petals and stems to stay crisp and fresh. The flowers did not become transparent and held true to color. Since the flowers are lasting longer, our spoilage rate has been reduced by more than 50 percent."
