Greenhouse for Cut Flowers Growing
Greenhouse cut flower production is the global standard for export floriculture. Precise environmental control allows producing stems of uniform length, consistent bud size and exact color on key market dates. Greenhouse cut flowers supply premium local markets and the growing US and Canadian export market where demand for high-quality fresh flowers grows consistently.

Timed flowering for peak market dates
Photoperiod control allows programming flowering exactly for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Christmas, the three highest-price dates of the year for cut flowers.
Straight stems and uniform buds
Without wind or rain bending growing stems, greenhouses produce perfectly straight stems and uniform buds that meet export grading standards.
Disease control
Botrytis and downy mildew are devastating in cut flowers, a greenhouse with controlled ventilation keeps relative humidity below the activation threshold of both pathogens.
Agronomist Tip
Install forced ventilation with humidity sensors in cut flower greenhouses, the critical threshold for Botrytis is 85% RH sustained for more than 4 hours; an automatic system that ventilates at that threshold can save an entire harvest on rainy days.
