Vase life of individual flowers of cut Triteleia laxa inflorescences ended 4 days after opening. Best vase life was achieved by harvesting inflorescences 1-2 days before anthesis of the first flower and holding them in a vase solution containing 2% sucrose and 200 p.p.m. 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate. Such inflorescences had a display life of 12 days. Decreasing the pH of the vase solution or pulsing inflorescences with 10% sucrose for 16 h did not increase their longevity. Flowers pretreated with 10% sucrose overnight could be stored for up to 2 weeks without a significant reduction in vase life.
