"The developing flower buds of a phragmipedium, or South American Lady’s Slipper hybrid, was treated with a 1:250 Kelpak solution. The first bloom to open maintained good health and remained attached to the inflorescence a great deal longer than would normally be the case. With this specific orchid species, healthy, unfaded flowers drop within a day or two of subsequent buds opening. After 10 days, a third bud was on its way and the existing buds remain in good heath."

Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Orchid Treatment contains a number of active biomolecules like polyamines and phlorotannins, which aid plant growth in interesting ways. These compounds are known for some of the effects that were observed here. The superior flower performance can be attributed specifically to the polyamines found in Kelpak.

These compounds are known to assist in flower formation, playing a vital role in stress mitigation in plants. They are also known for their anti-senescence effect, which delayed flower abscission.These benefits can be seen across a wide variety of plants and crops with benefits like abiotic stress tolerance, improved fruit set and retention as well as extended shelf-life.
