In some situations transportation of cut flowers in water is really a must – however 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’s no more ‘loose’ water in the container, 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 means that the stems are always in contact with water. The Procona sponge for a Valencia or Amsterdam container absorbs up to 350 ml water. This quantity can be increased by putting two sponges in a package. The Procona sponge for Florida can contain 180 ml of water. Thanks to the sponge the cut surface of the flowers remains wet – so there’s no need to trim them. As soon as the Procona (with sponge) arrives, water can be added via the hand-grip in the container. Simple!
