Abstract

Abstract Short-term or over-night pretreatment with solutions of a silver thiosulfate complex extended the vase life of fresh or stored miniature carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) as much as the continuous use of commercial vase preservatives. Combining the 2 treatments further extended the vase life to 4 times that of control flowers. The time to wilting of the first flower was closely correlated with the mean vase life of all the flowers in a spray.
