Geraldton Wax Maya (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a versatile waxflower variety featuring white petals with light green centres, complemented by blush to copper-toned buds that provide added dimension in mixed bouquets. While native to Western Australia, it is cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms for global wholesale markets. With its fresh neutral colouring, Maya is ideal for supermarket floral programmes, straight-line bunches, wedding assortments, and seasonal promotions where subtle contrast and filler texture 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
