sustainability
Eufloria Flowers is not interested in growing mass quantities of generic roses.
Our inspiration comes from the art and experimentation of optimum growing. All aspects of the rose growing process are evaluated and with an innovative, technologically advanced system, growers monitor such things as watering schemes, nutrient dosage, CO2 levels and greenhouse climate to establish the best and most sustainable growing conditions.
Coconut Fiber Hydroponics
The media selected for Eufloria’s non-soil hydroponics system is a specially treated coconut fiber.
Coconut fiber is a by-product derived from coconut growers in Sri Lanka, India and other tropical countries. It has an excellent resilient structure for growing roses and other crops. Coconut fiber gives young rose plants an explosive start. It has exceptional oxygen and water holding capabilities, which stimulate a vigorous root system.
Water, nutrient and PH levels are monitored daily and adjusted toward optimum levels. Computers help to deliver our nutrient and watering schemes, which allows us to design custom programs based on the age of our plants or specific varietal needs within our crop. The ability to react quickly to each plant’s needs maximizes production and quality. Water recycling is also supported with this system of growing
Employee Teamwork
Eufloria Flowers successes are a result of teamwork
The staff at Eufloria Flowers are the team excellence to provide clients with the best roses. The staff are educated upon hire with training and guidance in the horticulture environment. Our management team excels in the one drive to provide education on all platforms of agriculture and employer compliance according to laws and regulations. The sales team is the outlook for our clients and their needs when it comes to quality and variety of rose selections.
integrated pest management
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a growing practice where predator insects are released to control insects that damage roses.
IPM is utilized throughout the Eufloria greenhouses to help keep the use of pesticides to a minimum. By using IPM, not only is pesticide use reduced, the risk of employees coming into contact with harsh chemicals is also minimized.
Recycling
Runoff water is collected throughout the Eufloria operation and recycled to nearby pastureland and used to irrigate other complementary crops.
Should the need arise, the collected water could also be recycled back into rose production. In addition, the plant material and coco fiber the roses are grown in are mulched and used for container crops and other uses
