This also gives them the opportunity to respond to wishes from the market. They develop Alstroemeria varieties that offer florists even more creative possibilities and can be easily transported.

Long-lasting blooms
Three tips for extended floweringThe grower would also like to share the most important tips to ensure long flowering of the Alstroemeria:
1. Do not allow any leaves to hang in the water. That will prevent the water from becoming contaminated quickly.
2. Remove wilted flowers.
3. Avoid contact with ripening fruit, since the flower is sensitive to ethylene.
