Description
Design Master Hot Pink Stem Dye Absorbit is a professional-grade systemic floral dye that colors fresh cut flowers naturally from the inside out. Unlike surface sprays, Absorbit works by dissolving in warm water and being drawn up through the flower's stem — delivering electric hot pink directly into the petals for a natural, graduated result that preserves the bloom's original texture, vein detail, and organic character in a way that no external spray can replicate. The result looks like the flower was grown that color.
Trusted by professional florists and high-volume event studios for large-scale dyeing operations, Absorbit makes it practical and efficient to deliver vivid hot pink into white flowers for bold, modern event palettes and high-energy floral designs. One 4 oz jar makes 2–3 gallons of dye solution and can tint approximately 2,500–3,750 carnations. Colors in the Absorbit line can also be blended together to create fully custom shades — mix dry powders before dissolving for the most consistent results. Control final color intensity by adjusting soak time: a shorter dip creates a delicate tint, while a longer soak builds to a rich, saturated hue.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Use flowers that have been dry-packed and stored in a cooler for best results
- If flowers have already been hydrated, remove from water 3–6 hours before dyeing to allow partial stem dehydration
- Dissolve in warm water (100–110°F): mix 2–3 teaspoons per quart, or 8–12 teaspoons per gallon
- Strip lower foliage, re-cut stems at an angle, and place in dye solution
- Dye for 30–60 minutes; remove at the first sign of color above the calyx
- Rinse stems, re-cut, and transfer to fresh water with flower food — residual dye in the stem continues traveling upward, deepening petal color naturally
- Do not increase dye concentration — the formula contains a pre-calibrated wetting agent; over-concentrating reduces rather than increases absorption
- For roses: maintain bath temperature at 100–110°F throughout dyeing; if spotting occurs, transfer to warm clean water and allow to hydrate overnight
- Disposal: Absorb spent solution into sawdust or newspaper and dispose in regular trash (solution is non-toxic, but its strong color may concern water treatment systems)
Who Uses Absorbit: High-volume commercial florists, wholesale flower producers, event design studios producing large-scale custom-color arrangements, florist supply retailers, and craft stores supplying DIY flower-dyeing customers.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How does Design Master Absorbit work?
A: Absorbit is a systemic dye — meaning it is absorbed through the flower's stem and travels upward into the petals, coloring the bloom from the inside out. This produces a natural, graduated color effect that preserves the flower's original texture and is especially effective on white and light-colored carnations, roses, and chrysanthemums.
Q: How vivid is Absorbit Hot Pink on white carnations?
A: Absorbit Hot Pink is one of the most intensely pigmented colors in the Absorbit line — it delivers a strikingly vivid, electric hot pink on white carnations with full dye time. For designs requiring maximum pink energy — quinceañeras, bold contemporary events, or high-impact retail displays — Hot Pink is the strongest, most saturated pink option in the Absorbit range.
Q: Is Design Master Absorbit available at wholesale pricing?
A: Yes — Absorbit stem dyes in all available colors are listed here at professional wholesale pricing. No account application, no minimum order, no quoting process.
