Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2067400A1] Method for lengthening the durability or maintaining the life and/or growth of a flower or a plant part in cut state, i.e. in a state in which the stem of the flower or plant part has been cut off and the stem (3) therefore has a cut surface (2) via which a liquid (4) such as water etc. can be absorbed. The method includes applying a membrane (1,8, 11) such that at least a substantial part of the liquid is applied to the stem via said membrane. The membrane (1) may be arranged to be inserted partly into the stem or cut surface. The membrane (8,11) may also be arranged to cover the stem or at least the cut surface, at least partially. The membrane may be applied by dipping (or spraying) at least the cut surface in a liquid membrane substance. The membrane may be tubular (1) and be sealed at both ends, in which case the interposed cavity (6) may be filled with a fertilizing and/or biocidal substance (7). The membrane can be made from a ceramic or a non-woven membrane material, e.g. based on silicone, PDMS, PAN or PSU.
