Description
Clear vase water should stay visually clean while still delivering the nutrition fresh-cut flowers need to open, hydrate, and perform at their best. FloraLife Crystal Clear® Flower Food 300 Liquid – 500 mL is a professional concentrated cut-flower food formulated for use in vase arrangements and OASIS® floral foam designs. Developed by FloraLife, a division of Smithers-Oasis and a specialist in postharvest flower care, Crystal Clear 300 provides hydration and nutrition while helping support full flower development, vibrant color, and optimum vase life. The clear formula performs across water qualities and is especially useful in transparent glass containers where solution appearance matters, making it a practical everyday treatment for retail florists, event designers, wedding studios, and other professional fresh-flower operations.

FloraLife Crystal Clear® Flower Food 300 is used during the final stage of professional postharvest flower care, after flowers have reached the florist, retailer, event studio, or other design operation. Properly mixed solution provides fresh-cut flowers with nutrients they are no longer receiving after harvest while helping maintain hydration and encourage proper flower opening. Because the prepared solution remains clear, it is particularly valuable for glass-vase arrangements where cloudy or visibly colored water can detract from the presentation. It can also be used to hydrate OASIS® floral foam, allowing wedding florists, event designers, funeral florists, retail flower shops, hospitality programs, and production studios to use the same professional flower-food solution across multiple design formats.
The price listed is our everyday professional wholesale rate — the same straightforward pricing available to working florists, event studios, retail floral shops, funeral florists, hospitality programs, and other buyers, with no account application and no minimum order required to access the price shown.

For proper mixing, add 16 mL of FloraLife Crystal Clear® Flower Food 300 Liquid to 1 liter of clean water and mix thoroughly before adding flowers or saturating floral foam. Use clean buckets, vases, tools, and containers because flower food cannot compensate for heavily contaminated equipment or poor sanitation. Remove foliage that would sit below the solution level and place properly prepared fresh-cut stems into the mixed solution. For OASIS® floral foam designs, prepare the flower-food solution first and use that solution to passively saturate the foam according to the foam manufacturer's instructions rather than adding concentrate directly to the brick.
Accurate dosing matters. Using substantially too little flower food may not provide the intended nutritional and solution-management benefits, while over-concentrating the mixture can negatively affect flower performance. For production work, measure the concentrate rather than estimating by eye and prepare only in clean containers. Keep vase and arrangement solution levels adequately replenished as flowers consume water, using properly mixed Crystal Clear 300 solution when topping up whenever practical.
Who Uses This: Professional wedding florists, event and corporate floral designers, retail flower shops, funeral and sympathy florists, hotel and hospitality floral programs, floral educators, production studios, supermarkets, and other businesses handling fresh-cut flowers.
Why use FloraLife Crystal Clear® 300 instead of plain water for fresh-cut flowers?
Fresh-cut flowers no longer receive nutrition from the plant after harvest, so plain water supplies hydration but not the complete postharvest nutrition provided by properly formulated flower food. FloraLife Crystal Clear® 300 is designed to hydrate and nourish cut flowers while supporting flower opening, color, and optimum vase life. Its clear solution also makes it particularly useful in transparent glass arrangements where the appearance of the water is part of the finished design. Proper sanitation, accurate dilution, and adequate solution levels remain important for best results.
Can FloraLife Crystal Clear® Flower Food 300 be used with OASIS® floral foam?
Yes. Smithers-Oasis specifically identifies Crystal Clear 300 as suitable for both vase arrangements and OASIS® floral foam designs. Mix the concentrate with water at the proper dilution before using the solution to hydrate floral foam. Do not pour undiluted concentrate directly onto the foam or flowers. Using properly prepared flower-food solution allows flowers arranged in wet floral foam to receive hydration and nutrition from the solution held within the foam.
