Flowers LOVE and need water |
Vox offers Flowers all their
Respiration and Transpiration Needs
The Botany Basics:
Respiration (we humans use air, a plant uses water). Water is constantly moving, (through tissue) up the stem, delivering and releasing nutrients and minerals to the plants cells for energy and growth. Transpiration (we humans perspire). The flower/plant has a built in cooling system. It's constantly cooling itself, even in a cold climate. Air flows over the leaves and the petals, and creates pressure which acts like a pump to help the flower/plant to draw water upwards (against gravity). This water is dispersed out through pores in its leaves and petals as an invisible vapour. |
The Facts
"Without water, flowers suffer irreversible cell damage in minutes."
1.Some of our present day methods of presenting flowers are in effect helping flowers to die. Some of us make the effort with 'wet wrap'. A "Wet Wrap" merely offers moist air (and a messy inconvenience to the customer).
|
2. Contary to popular belief, 'wet-wrapping' of stems will not save the life of your flowers. Wet wrapping & waterbagging offers little, in the way of flower care, or customer convenience and service.
|
3.Recipients of wet wrap bouquets often have difficulty fulfilling your care card requirements. They don't always have cutters, water or a container the correct size.
|
4. Light reflection in water increases bacterial growth, reducing flower life. Light reflection in Vox is minimal - if any. Recipients don't always want or need another vase or similar solid container.

When you cut a flower...you need a Vox
FOOD IS STORED in the stem. The only way this food can be released, (for energy to grow) is to continue the water chain. This is best achieved when the flower is in an upright position, with freely available water with the absence of air in the stem.
Every time WE HANDLE, (make a bouquet), wound (cut), or disturb flowers (move, transport) stressing occurs,causing the flowers temperature to increase, more energy is used, requiring more food, requiring more water. To PROTECT ITSELF, the built in cooling system activates dispersing vapour through the leaves and petals. What little water stored in the stems is quickly used. The demand for water dramatically increases. Flowers presented user-friendly with impact to impress, ensures consumers gestures are fully enjoyed. Perceived and realized as a value gift.

Whilst flowers may look healthy leaving your studio, the symptoms your customers may experience include;
✔ Standing Upright:
- in their natural growing position. ✔ Drinking Water: - essential to their longevity. ✔ Minimal Airlocks: - essential to their longevity. ✔ Respiring: - we humans use air, a plant uses water...more below ✔ Transpiring ✔ Reduced levels of bacteria in water: - light reflection in the water is minimal. |
"Naturally respiration and transpiration are more closely interdependent than this simple explanation. More information is available from our office if you want to get really deep into botany!"
