Abstract
Among agricultural businesses, the ornamental industry emerged as a key component
of our economy with a strong market position and promising aspects. The appetite to explore
new things is crucial to the growth of the marketing industry. It is long overdue for the
floriculture sector to switch to new crops in light of current trends and the ongoing demand
for fresh, inventive goods. The most significant concern, however, is the poor after-harvest
outcomes of cut flower crops including poor handling, harvesting injuries, poor flower
quality, market glut, which have decreased demand for fresh-cut flowers. Thus, every link in
the marketing chain must provide sufficient postharvest care. 'Freshness' and vase life are the
two crucial qualities depending on the best postharvest management. The grower must be
ready to modify production to satisfy customer preferences to achieve successful long-term
benefits. The purpose of this review is to highlight some new special flowerss postharvest
strategies depicting their capability of introduction with traditional cut flowers.
