Geraldton Wax Rotem (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a vibrant waxflower cultivar known for its dense clusters of pink blooms, creating excellent volume and colour coverage on each stem. Originally native to Western Australia, it is grown in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms for international export. Its lively pink shades make it particularly suitable for supermarket floral lines, mass-market bouquets, straight-line bunches, and seasonal promotions. The consistent colouring and full flowering habit also make it a reliable filler for spring and summer retail ranges.

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 is typically 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
