Heliconia cut flower studies

We are studying on four types of heliconias as cut flowers.Helconia stricta (Huber),H.chartacea (Tempress). H.rauliana and H.rostata. The study is to observe which variety has the longest shell ife (vast life).i.e  sustainability after cutting. We observed that 5 factors are important;


1. Age of the inflorescene
2. Handling of inflorescene
3. Packaging materials
4. Method of cutting
5. Equipment used


It is a simple  and short study.
