The investigation entitled, “Effect of different pulsing solutions on postharvest life of Iris (Iris orientalis Mill.)” was carried out at the experimental farm and laboratory of Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, in the year 2018. Experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with 10 treatments and 3 replications. It was observed that pulsing of cut spikes with solution comprising of Sucrose (10%) + 8-HQC (400 ppm) for 16 hours resulted in best treatment for most of the postharvest parameters such as amount of pulsing solution consumed (14.13 ml), amount of vase solution consumed (91.90 ml), appearance of cut bloom (4.75), days taken for opening of floret (2.73), floret diameter (14.29 cm), vase life (11.07 days) and minimum per cent weight change/loss (15.66 %) of the cut spikes with 100 % bud opening.
