Chrysal Full Bloom Liquid Flower Food - Clear, Concentrated Plant Food for Flower Arrangements & Bouquets - Mix with Water - Ideal Florist Supplies & at-Home Use - 500mL Bottle (500ml)

I recently came across this product and absolutely loved the results. I ordered over 500 flower stems to make centerpieces and arrangements for my family member’s wedding. Most of the flowers arrived in bud or partially/ fully closed. I prepared the water in plastic containers using the ratio of Full Bloom to water that was listed in the instructions on the bottle. I then cut the bottoms of the stems and placed them in the solution. After 24-36 hours all the flowers had opened and looked wonderful. They stayed totally fresh and beautiful through the wedding (which was 3 days later) and many flowers lasted several weeks after the wedding. I was especially wowed by the sunflowers. They arrived mostly closed and many in netting but once I used the Full Bloom they opened really big and the heads did not droop at all. Amazing product. I did replace the water-Full Bloom solution in the containers every other day. I bought three bottles for the wedding flowers (over 30 centerpieces+ more) and only used up about 1.5 of the bottles.

We get cut flowers from time to time. The packets included don’t last long. This stuff helped to make the flowers last (except roses that seem to have a short life). The bottle has lots in it so no need to rebuy soon.

I grow about 100 different dahlia varieties and always have multiple vases of dahlias in August and September. Usually they look nice for about 3 days, Dinnerplate dahlias are difficult to keep looking presentable even with regular water changes and trimming stems. The first 2 pictures are of a bouquet right after cutting the flowers and assembling it. It contains Cafe Au Lait, Sweet Nathalie, Wizard of Oz & Caribbean Fantasy. Cafe Au Lait is a bit fluffy dinnerplate and usually only lasts a few days. The last two photos are of the same bouquet 6 days later with no water changes or stem trimming in that time. The last photos were taken inside and at night so they don’t look quite as pretty, but the flowers look almost freshly cut and presentable. I’d normally have to throw the bouquet away by this point but it still looks great using this product. I used about 1.5 caps full as the vase is approximately 1.5 quarts. I will be using this for all bouquets from now on and I imagine it would be great for florists or if you were doing arranged for a wedding and needed them to last more than one day!

These flowers from yard were still looking great at one week. Very pleased with results. Did think price was high.

This stuff works. I wrote a longer review for a competing brand (Miracle Grow version). Basically, this stuff has extended the life of our delicate flowers to two weeks (from 3-7 days without it). For more hardy flowers (sunflowers, carnations) we got to 3 weeks. You have to change the water according to directions. Stuff is great for the flowers I've tried (except hydrangeas).
