Where are Santa Dorotea carnations produced?

Our carnations come from Colombia, a country renowned worldwide for the quality of its flowers. They are grown in optimal climate and soil conditions. Thanks to sustainable farming practices and advanced cultivation techniques, we can guarantee that every carnation we offer is exceptionally fresh and long-lasting.

How long do carnations last?

Carnations are exceptionally durable as cut flowers, staying fresh and vibrant for 7 to 14 days when properly cared for. This longevity makes them particularly popular in floral arrangements and event decorations.

How to care for the carnation?

To maximise the shelf life of carnations, special care is essential:

1. 1. Cut the stems at a 45 degree angle.
   2. Change the water every two days to prevent bacterial growth.
   3. Remove leaves left under water to prevent rot.
   4. Keep the flowers in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

How do we ensure quality?

From the careful selection of the flowers to the individual and specific treatment of the stems, we carefully control every stage of our production process, selecting only those that meet the best conditions.

We have a precise grading system where we assess each flower for quality, paying attention to detail and correcting any imperfections.

We also collect and analyse customer feedback to identify potential weaknesses in our manufacturing process and implement continuous improvements based on this feedback to ensure that our products remain of the highest quality.
