Geraldton Wax Jupiter (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a colourful waxflower variety producing abundant clusters of deep pink to magenta flowers on woody stems with fine-textured foliage. Though native to Western Australia, it is cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms for global export markets. Jupiter’s bold tones and dense flowering habit make it ideal for supermarket floral programmes, straight-line bunches, mixed bouquets, and seasonal retail promotions where strong colour impact and filler volume are required.

Quality & Handling

• Cut and graded to export standard under strict cold-chain management; stems are selected for length, straightness, and branching uniformity with clean foliage and vibrant flower colour
• Expected vase life of 7–10 days under standard conditions; with optimal hydration and hygiene may last up to 12–14 days
• Re-cut stems by 2–3 cm at an angle and place immediately into clean, sanitised buckets of fresh water with a hydration solution or floral preservative to assist uptake; woody stems can be slow to rehydrate if untreated
• Allow at least 4–6 hours of conditioning before onward distribution or use
• Moderately ethylene sensitive — exposure may trigger petal shatter and leaf drop, so ethylene protection is advised during shipping and storage
