Abstract
The attraction of cut flowers lies in their aesthetic appeal, and among these, Lilium, or lilies, are renowned for their beauty and remarkable vase life. Vase life, the duration a cut flower remains fresh after harvesting, is a crucial factor for consumer satisfaction and commercial viability. Lilies, a significant economic crop, demand a thorough understanding of factors affecting their vase life. This research explored the impact of various preservative solutions on the vase life of two LA hybrid lily cultivars, Pavia and Arborifera. Notably, HQC 200 ppm demonstrated the highest water uptake, extended days until drooping, petal discoloration, and petal shriveling. Additionally, HQC 200 ppm treatment resulted in the longest vase life. These findings contribute to improving post-harvest practices for lilies and enhancing the floral industry's economic returns.
