Tight-bud flowers oftuberosewrapped in aluminum lamination foil and stored at 4 ° C lasted longer (32.9 days) in the storage compared with partially-open or half-open flowers packed in the cellophane or buller paper. However, longer storage shortened (5.0 days) the vase life of flowers. Dipping the flower stems in the 1000 ppm AgNOJ and then pulsing in 10% sucrose plus 150 ppm citric acid at room temperature prior to storage was not beneficial in lengthening the storage life or extending the vase life. Half open flowers wrapped in aluminum lamination foil and stored at room temperature gave vase life of 10.9days
