What is the Cane Flower?

The sugar cane flower is the upper part of the sugar cane, specifically of the Valencian variety. It has a conical and elongated shape, with a smooth and shiny surface with light brown or beige longitudinal stripes.

• Feel: Natural Cane Flower has a soft and slightly rough feel due to the grooves on its surface.
• Colour: varies from light brown to beige, depending on the maturity of the sugar cane.
• Texture: The texture of Cane Flower is fibrous and stiff, yet light and flexible.
• Durability: It has limited durability as it can crack, discolour and lose rigidity over time.

Production and preservation process

1. Selection and preparation: We carefully select Cane Flower stems to ensure they are in optimum condition.
2. Preservative treatment: The preservative and colorant (50% glycerin + water + colorants) are applied by the absorption method, immersing the lower part of the stems in the liquid. After 24 to 36 hours, when the preservative has been totally absorbed, the product can pass to the next phase.
3. Drying: The product passes to the drying station with a higher temperature and a lower percentage of ambient humidity where it will remain for 24 to 48 hours.
4. Inspection and packaging: Finally, we remove damaged and wilted leaves and select only the best, healthiest and most attractive stems, and carefully pack it to protect it during transportation and storage.

Why do we believe so strongly in the quality of Saint Dorothy?

We carefully control the entire process. From the care and treatment of the plants, the specific manual selection of the specimens that present the best conditions, the preservation process, to the packaging and transport through our own transport service Verdnatura.

Before packaging, each plant is subjected to a final inspection. We check the integrity of the plant’s structure, flexibility and overall appearance. In addition, the plants are carefully packed to avoid damage during transport and we use packaging materials that protect the plants from moisture and shocks.

Finally, we collect and analyze feedback from florists and other customers to identify areas for improvement in our production and preservation processes and implement continuous improvements based on this feedback to ensure that our plants maintain the highest quality.
