"Heliconias too sensitive for cold storage!"

The colorful flower with striking shape is unfamiliar to some new owners. "Florists do not always know how to handle heliconias properly. The flowers are extremely sensitive to cold, which causes discoloration quickly. One night in cold storage is definitely not recommended!" according to Marcel.

In Ghana, they provide a socially responsible environment. Marcel: "Our employees receive education and healthcare. This way we give something back to Ghana." He wants to transfer the knowledge gained over there. "The climate is warm and humid, ideal conditions for both green and heliconias." Marcel advises: "Try to keep the flower moist by spraying it daily with water."

Purchaser Piet Ravensbergen agrees with him: "With these variations of cut green, each arrangement gets a completely different look." The grains, shapes and structures of the decorative greens are excellent for multiple purposes. Marcel hopes that florists will realize that too. "You can make your signature design with this green. Use it, just like the heliconia, in ways different than the average florist. Dare to create different bouquets, make a continuous, diversified range available to consumers."

Piet: "Decorative green and heliconia are not standard and do not come cheap. However, the constant quality and reliability of this supplier make it very worthwhile. You can make such cool things with it." Marcel: "We sometimes receive pictures of the final creations. I've seen the most beautiful things. And every time you notice: that's what makes the difference with a bunch of moderate flowers from the supermarket. People always come back for quality."
