Do not place the flowers near a fruit bowl. Fruit emits ethylene gas which will cause the flowers to age more rapidly. Pollen stains can be removed by carefully lifting them with a piece of adhesive tape. Do not rub them, since this will cause nasty stains. For floral work: soak florist's foam (oasis) thoroughly and add cut flower food (Chrysal, Floralife, Vaselife) to the water.
This flower is pretreated by growers with STS in order to reduce the sensitivity to ethylene (ripening and ageing process). It prevents premature shrinkage and the fall of buds, leaves and flowers. This makes the flowers last longer.
Give the flower special cut flower food for Lilium.
