Ball Seed® is proud to introduce                          , a new generation of spray dyes that gives the
traditional poinsettia a whole new look, form and feel for your customers.                            typically
work best on white, cream, apricot, light pink and marble poinsettias. This treatment greatly
expands the traditional color range of poinsettias. It creates new markets, especially during the early
poinsettia season, attracting clientele that might not consider selling a standard, natural poinsettia.
                 , along with our glitter, attract attention, create excitement, and most importantly, provide
an opportunity to raise the price point of poinsettias to a much-needed higher level. Poinsettias do not
need to be a commodity anymore – they are an opportunity to generate greater profits!

The dyes come in 8 unique colors that, when sprayed on poinsettias, create an exiting effect that
expands the color range of traditional poinsettias. We think that by using                    , the opportunity
exists to broaden the poinsettia window, thus creating a whole new market potential for poinsettias.
In addition to using poinsettias for the Christmas holiday, it opens the door to other decorating possibilities,
such as:

 ● Halloween    ● New Year’s    ● Promotions – in store gift with purchase,
 ● Thanksgiving ● Anniversaries   sports teams (high school, college and
 ● Hannukah     ● Birthdays       professional) and fundraiser opportunities
				 (High School Clubs, Boy/Girl Scouts,
				 4-H, Charities, etc.)

Red and pink poinsettias can also be dyed by using the more intense, darker colors. Depending on the
intensity, number and type of color applications, a variety of designs can be created to complement any
décor. We have included some possible combinations using                        in this booklet. However,
these are only some suggestions. Feel free to have fun and use your own creativity!

Please keep in mind that you can use just one color per poinsettia variety, put a second coat on of that
particular color or enhance/color-coordinate the poinsettia by using additional                  (mixing
colors as per the standard color wheel). Adding ethanol as spray droplets or using ethanol for a striping
pattern will give you additional variations and effects.

THE COLOR WHEEL:
The traditional color wheel has three primary colors: red, yellow and
blue. In technical terms, it organizes colors by the length of their light
wave (red is the longest, violet is the shortest). But for those of us
who aren’t astrophysicists, it’s easier to think of the color wheel as a
slice of the rainbow stretched into a circle or a cool device that allows
people to see the relationship between colors.

PRIMARY COLORS                       SECONDARY COLORS                        INTERMEDIATE COLORS
RED, YELLOW, BLUE                    ORANGE, GREEN, VIOLET                   RED-ORANGE, YELLOW-ORANGE,

IMPORTANT NOTE:
      These spray dyes are based on ethanol, which makes them easy to apply. It is essential that prior to
      application, you prepare a well-ventilated or covered area. Please consider clothing and surrounding
      area for over-spray, as the dye will stain. Do not water from overhead – water at soil level or from
      the bottom of the pot. The dye may run and stain clothing, carpet, etc. Test on individual plants
      before mass application, as results may vary.
      PRODUCT FORMS AVAILABLE:
      1)                Ready to Use (RTU) – Remove cap, then attach the spray nozzle.
      (IMPORTANT – secure tightly and adjust nozzle.) 1 liter will color approx. 60-80 6-in./15-cm pots,
      depending on application and bract size.
      2)                       Concentrate – Products need to be diluted with ethanol to be used in mass applications
      with various types of sprayers. (IMPORTANT – We recommend using our ethanol, as it is the same ethanol
      used to make our (RTU) dyes.) Mix 1 part concentrate with up to 10 parts ethanol. (5 parts is recommended
      – a 1:5 ratio will cover approx. 500 6-in./15-cm plants, depending on application and bract size.) If using the
      1:10 ratio, 1 liter will cover approx. 800-1,000 6-in./15-cm plants, depending on application and bract size.
      Colors Available (1 liter size): The following colors are available, whether you
      purchase Ready to Use (RTU) or Concentrate:

       3)                   Ethanol – This is the same ethanol used to make our (RTU)                          Dyes.
       It is used to dilute any of our 8                      Concentrate dyes. It enhances and creates various
       effects on the bracts of poinsettias, either by lightening the dyes or providing the “speckles/droplet effect”
       when used in conjunction with                        RTU or Concentrate. It is available either in a 1-liter or
       1-gallon unit.

N
      purchase 4 different formulations of                   Dyes PRE-MIXED with shimmer (RTU form only).
      The shimmer acts as a surfactant (wetting agent), enhancing the way the dye adheres to the bracts,
      making it a seamless process. Adding the shimmer intensifies the dyes, giving the traditional poinsettia
      a new look, form and feel for your customers!
      HOW TO USE: Shake well before using, as the shimmer powder will settle at the bottom. Apply Shimmer

      application and bract size.

      5)                  Shimmer Powders – This non-toxic, natural product adds an exciting look and
      dimension to poinsettias. The most popular shimmer powder is Gold Shimmer, which when used on

      snow effect that looks best on dark-colored poinsettias.

6)                  Ready to Use (RTU) Glue – Specially formulated colorless glue/sealant is used in
the commercial horticultural industry on live and dried plants. Ball Seed ready-to-use clear glue is made
from a water-soluble acrylic resin compound for use with Ball Seed Glitter applications. It also provides
the treated material with effective protection and preserves its natural appearance. Our 1-liter unit will
cover approx. 100 6-in/15-cm plants, depending on application and bract size.

Glue noted above. There are two formulations available: 1-Liter Concentrate or 10-Liter Concentrate.

good on naturally grown red and pink poinsettias, not to mention as an additional enhancement when
used with                   – especially the brighter colors. Make sure that the surface to be sprayed
is clean and dry. Spray from a distance of approx. 10-15 in./24-35 cm from the object. Spray in short,
even, back-and-forth strokes in a well-ventilated room or covered area. Immediately apply glitter if
desired. Complete drying time takes approx. 10-20 minutes at 68ºF/20ºC. Clean spray nozzle after
each use with warm water.
