At Chrysal they have three solution which can help prolong the selling period and better the display quality and appearance of Azaleas . The first is theAquastickwhich work by render plant with water from a reservoir . Like all H2O supply the big the reservoir the longer the plant will be able-bodied to survive on that reservoir without the need for pinch up .
It is important to note that when using Aquastick to exhibit Azalea one must ensure that a suitable outer pot is used so that the growers mickle is above the water man-made lake and the Aquastick is inserted aright . Plants can then draw water system as and when they call for it which keeps works declamatory and healthy during the display menstruum as well as making it much easy for the conclusion user to keep the plant watered without under or over tearing .
The 2nd solution isChrysal LeafShine & Sealwhich basically shines leaves which gives a better character appearance of the whole works but also adds resolve to flowers . To get the best results from LeafShine & Seal it’s advised to apply at 50mls per litre to achieve a effulgence gist as well as reduced evaporation . 25mls per litre can be used but this will only give evaporation control without much shine effect . LeafShine & Seal reduces the amount of transpiration from the plant therefore slowing down the piss consumption / demand from the pot and prolonging the industrial plant ’s life on the ledge .
The third and terminal solution is theChrysal Aqua Padwhich is basically a natural Mrs. Henry Wood character mat that is placed between the outer ceramic and the raiser pot . The Aqua Pad total in a variety of sizing to fit the showing pot sizing and with Azaleas being quite bushy plant they plainly execute well in bigger pots .
