In some situations transportation of cut flowers in water is necessary. The airlines may not allow large quantities of water which can cause safety problems if the container tips over. The Procona sponge solves this problem. If the container tips over the sponge will stop any water spilling out of the container. Now that there is no more "loose" water in the container, and airline restrictions cease to be a problem, thanks to the Procona sponge! The Procona sponge is made of polypropylene and is very effective in absorbing liquid. The stems rests on a polypropylene mat. This fibrous material allows the stems to always be in contact with water. The Procona sponge for a Valencia or Amsterdam container absorbs up to 11.8 oz water. This quantity can be increased by putting two sponges in a package. The Procona sponge for Florida can contain 6.1 oz of water. Thanks to the sponge, the cut surface of the flowers remains wet, this means no trimming when they arrive. As soon as the Procona, with sponge, arrives, water can be added via the hand-grip in the container. Simple!
