Flower cold storage is an essential key facility in the floral industry. It can extend the freshness and lifespan of flowers, thereby increasing profits for upstream and downstream enterprises.
The working principle of flower cold storage is to use local natural conditions to provide suitable temperature and humidity for stored plants. This helps slow down the metabolic process of flowers and reduces losses during the storage period.
Flower cold storage does not require very low refrigeration temperatures. Generally, 0-5°C is sufficient to preserve most flowers. Of course, for temperature-sensitive flowers such as orchids and lilies, the temperature can be appropriately adjusted to 8-10°C.
In addition, regulating air humidity and carbon dioxide concentration is also very important.
Excessive humidity can promote mold growth and increase the likelihood of flower diseases. Conversely, too low humidity can cause petal dehydration. The relative humidity in flower cold storage should be maintained at 70-90%. Depending on the needs of the cold storage, humidifiers can be installed to control the internal humidity levels.
Maintaining airflow inside the cold storage is also essential. A smooth and unobstructed ventilation system helps prevent excessive carbon dioxide concentration. This helps ensure that flowers can carry out normal respiration, maintaining their vitality.
