Vase life. Stems of E. globulus and E.
cinerea, 40–50 cm long, were placed into 750-
ml bottles containing either 0, 1%, or 2%
sucrose with 8-HQC at 200 mg•L–1, pH 5.
Bottles were placed in a growth cabinet maintained
at 20 °C with a 12-h photoperiod, 70%
relative humidity, and illuminated at 315
mmol•m–2•s–1. The number of leaves on each
stem was recorded initially and at regular
intervals, and vase life was considered to be
over when 50% of the leaves commenced
wilting or browning.
