We investigated the vase life of twenty two important cut flowers at normal temperature (23℃) and high temperature (30℃). When cut flowers were held in distilled water (DW) at 23℃, vase life varied depending on species. The vase life of cut Sandersonia, Purunus persica and Viburnum was less than 5 days. In contrast, the vase life of Celosia, Callistephus and Aster was longer than 10 days. When cut flowers were held in DW at 30℃, the vase life of most species shortened. In many species, treatment with glucose and germicides extended vase life. In particular, the vase life of Hydrangea, Viburnum and Hypericum androsaemum was extended markedly by this treatment. In contrast, the vase life of Curcuma, Sandersonia, Scabiosa and Bupleurum was not extended by this treatment.
