The composition of cut flower food is like a balanced diet for cut flowers. The universal products are a general diet for all cut flowers and the speciality flower foods are a diet that is fine-tuned according to the needs of a particular flower type. Cut flower research has shown that even within a flower type there can be variations.
In practice, though, speciality flower foods are not always available. The ultimate goal is to provide cut flowers with the food and water as if still attached to the parent plant.
