An important factor affecting the condition to cut flowers during the transportation is Geotropism.
Geotropism is a growth response to gravity.
Certain responses of cut flowers to environmental stimuli (tropisms) can result in quality loss. Most important is geotropism (bending away from gravity) and phototropism (bending toward the light). Geotropism often reduces quality in spike-flower crops like gladiolus, snapdragon, stock, roses and gerbera, because the flower stems (pedicels) or the main stem bends upward when stored horizontally.
Geotropism is greatly reduced when flowers are maintained at low temperatures where this is not possible, such flowers should be handled upright.
