About Mascons Agrotech
Twenty years of growing flowers under glass in Sri Lanka, and selling them three ways.
We started as growers and we still are
Mascons Agrotech began with greenhouses and a planting plan. Roses first, then chrysanthemums, then gerberas once we had the beds for them. For years the flowers went straight to exporters and to florists who came to collect.
Retail came later, because people kept asking us for one bouquet instead of a hundred stems. Now the same crop feeds three counters: export cases, wholesale bunches for dealers, and bouquets and pots for anyone who walks in or calls.
Being the grower is the part that matters. We know when a bed was planted, so we know what will be ready on the Friday you need it. Nothing is bought in from a market and resold.

How we grow
Greenhouse beds, so rain and pests stay outside
Drip irrigation and measured feeding
Cutting early, straight into water
Grading by hand before anything is sleeved
Exporters, florists, dealers and families
A wedding florist in Colombo and a mother sending flowers to her daughter are buying from the same greenhouse on the same morning. The only difference is the size of the order and the paperwork.
Export buyers taking graded stems in boxes
Registered dealers with a weekly standing order
Florists and event teams buying for a single date
Retail customers ordering one bouquet or one plant
