Do the growers use Floralife in the water tubes when shipped? I received dendrobium that look like that? They have only lasted a day or two.
Hello Vera,
Our vendor does use a chemical in the water tubes during shipping, except it’s not Floralife. They use Chrysal AVB.
We do recommend removing the water tube upon receipt and replacing it to prolong vase life.
