Vase life of Dendranthema increased to 14.6 d in acidic solutions from 6.1 d for distilledwater. Solution uptake of cut Dendranthema was also greater in acidic solutions (94 mL) compared todistilled water (76 mL). There was no significant difference in vase life of Dendranthema when solutionEC ranged from 0.50 dS m−1(21.7 d) to 4.00 dS m−1(19.3 d) of NaCl
