This study investigates the key determinants of cut flower vase life, focusing on the influence of pre- and post-harvest conditions and environmental factors. Addressing the commercial challenges associated with limited vase life, the research underscores the critical need for sustainable and eco-friendly floral preservatives to enhance flower freshness. It highlights the rising interest in plant-based extracts and biodegradable alternatives as effective substitutes for conventional chemical preservatives. These natural preservatives not only improve floral longevity but also reduce environmental impact when paired with optimized post-harvest management practices. The study emphasizes the growing body of research dedicated to extending the shelf life of cut flowers through environmentally conscious solutions. By advancing both flower durability and ecological sustainability, eco-friendly preservatives hold significant potential to revolutionize the floriculture industry.
