We are often asked how we can offer a seven-day guarantee on our flowers. Many people don’t understand because they don’t get the same guarantee or quality from other locations they’ve previously purchased flowers. One of the coolest products we have to keep our flowers fresh is CO2. It basically works like this:
CO2 pads increase carbon dioxide 3-4 times the normal levels in refrigerated environments. The results help preserve the life of fresh cut flowers by achieving the following:
- Plant metabolism slows down and water intake increases.
- Aerobic bacteria and mold growth are inhibited.
- Lighter ethylene gas and oxygen are displaced with heavier carbon dioxide, inhibiting shedding and senescence.
It really is cool and it’s things like this that we invest in here at Boesen’s to ensure you have the highest quality flowers possible. That’s why we offer our seven-day guarantee.
