Clean, beautiful, healthy-looking foliage may command attention and drive consumer sales, but commercial plant production can often leave foliage plants devalued by unsightly production residues.

During this week’s Tropical Plant International Expo, Oasis Grower Solutions introduced its new OASIS® Eleganz™ Liquid Leaf Clean, Shine and Protect concentrate. Powered by FloraLife®, OASIS® Eleganz is designed to serve as a solution to residue-marred plants and inefficient, labor-intensive foliage cleaners in an easy-to-use concentrate.

“This product development has been a long time coming because we set ourselves a high bar. We wanted something all-in-one, scalable and economical,” says Vijay Rapaka, Ph.D., Director of Global Grower Operations and Research for Oasis Grower Solutions parent company Smithers-Oasis.

OASIS® Eleganz™ is designed to:

  • Scale easily for labor-saving application by growers or retailers of all sizes. Water-soluble formula helps ensure easy application via handheld, backpack or boom sprayers.
  • Lift and clean production residue from foliage. Dries faster than some similar products for commercial production environments. (Greenhouse conditions influence drying times.)
  • Provide appealing, long-lasting shine. Enhances the natural matte or glossy appearance of foliage. Dilution rates can be adjusted to control shine intensity.
  • Protect plants and profits against shrink. Helps restore residue-impacted plants to sellable condition. Helps guard against excessive moisture loss and preserve shelf life in challenging retail conditions.
  • Enhance retail appeal and sell-through. Free from oily dust-attracting residue, helps restore natural plant beauty, keep plants cleaner longer, and encourage consumer excitement and sales.

OASIS® Eleganz™ represents the first postharvest research collaboration between Oasis Grower Solutions and FloraLife, both divisions of Smithers-Oasis. Dr. Rapaka says researchers from the two divisions worked together to develop this unique proprietary formulation specifically for commercial foliage growers.

“I’d like to thank our researchers behind the initial formulation and its refinement for the growing industry, as well as our team that oversaw field and demonstration trials for this exceptional new product,” Dr. Rapaka said. FloraLife Postharvest Scientist Mominul Hoque and Oasis Grower Solutions Plant Scientist Erin Yafuso, Ph.D., led their respective division teams.

OASIS® Eleganz™ is now available to the North America market in 1-gallon, 5-gallon, 15-gallon, and 55-gallon sizes, joining EthylBloc™ and other postharvest quality offerings from Oasis Grower Solutions.
