It is not necessary for the other products. Flourish contains a very
high concentration of nutrient organics (vitamins, amino acids etc)
and so it could support mold growth in the bottle. But it would be
obvious, you would see it and it would smell _terrible_.
Refrigerating it prevents this from occurring. However, on a personal
note, I've never seen this happen with Flourish... we simply leave
the warning on the label because there is a theoretical potential for
this to occur. So, if it's convenient, refrigerate, otherwise, I
wouldn't worry about it.
