Treatments to maintain the postharvest quality of Cut 'Patumma' (Curcuma alismatifolia 'Chiang Mai Pink') flowers

Cut 'Patumma' flowers normally last 10-15d when placed in clean water. 'Patumma' vase life is generally defined by when the coma bracts have discoloured or stems have wilted. A rapid decrease in water uptake within four days after harvest may trigger the withering of the stem. A...
