HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -The optimum temperature in a floral case is 36°F with a relative humidity of between 90% and 95%. This level of relative humidity helps flowers retain their own moisture, resulting in a fresher product with a longer vase life-up to three times longer when stored at the right temperature and humidity.

Detailed explanation-2: -2–5° Celsius is recommended. If your cooler has an unreliable history then 5–8°C may be safer. Tropical flowers and orchids prefer 13°C or higher and will be damaged if stored at lower temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Floral coolers are designed to hold the humidity within the cabinet at a higher level than a standard glass door refrigerator; the optimum humidity level is 95%, while the minimum is 80%.
