Popis:	Water uptake and stem weight of harvested inflorescences of Limonium ’Chorus Magenta’ declined rapidly when the stems were placed in water or a biocide solution, and florets remained open for only c. 5 days after harvest. The decline in water uptake and stem weight was greatly reduced by a 24‐h wetting‐agent pulse treatment of Agral LN or Tween 20 at 0.1 or 1 ml/litre. These treatments extended the period over which flower buds continued to open by c. 5 days. The addition of 50 or 100 g/ litre sucrose to the 24‐h wetting‐agent pulse treatment extended flower bud opening to 16 days. However, the number of open flowers was greater when the wetting‐agent pulse treatment was followed by a 20 g/litre sucrose vase‐solution treatment.
