Good hygiene is vital to the vase life of gerbera. Grower Reijm Nieuwerkerk does his utmost in order to get their gerberas bacteria free to the customer. ”We want the water in the bucket to be of such quality that no bacterial growth can occur, '' said Jaré Reijm. Reijm optimizes his quality using the hygiene support from Chrysal.
“At Chrysal, we have done a lot of testing and measurements,” says Ingrid Beentjes from Chrysal. “Our aim is to reduce the bacteria in the water container. This can be done by using CVBN-tablets, which are dissolved in the water with the help of an automatic dispensing machine.” All of gerberas from Reijm are treated with Chrysal CVBN. These tablets guarantee optimal flower and stem quality and are more effective against bacteria than any other (liquid) chlorine products. Chrysal CVBN keeps the gerberas stems straight and green. Moreover, treated gerberas remain beautiful much longer: https://youtu.be/EEl78LK3F5c

Also at the florist store, hygiene is very important. So use clean materials, buckets and a clean environment. The stems of gerberas are very sensitive to pollution.

These are available in one convenient click dispenser.
