Summary

Fronds of Nephrolepis exalta 'Bostoniensis' exhibited a longer vase life than those of 'Golden Boston'. For these cultivars their vase life remained rather stable when previously kept for 18 and 12 days in wet storage, respectively. Fronds of 'Bostoniensis' dry stored in polypropylene (PP) sleeves continued to show a longer vase life than those kept in polyethylene (PE). Storage in PP sleeves for 18 days did not affect a subsequent frond vase life but it started to decline when fronds were previously held in PE just for 3 days. Hence, the storage of fronds in PP was suggested to prolong their vase life.
