You dilute it as needed.

I decanted mine into multiple smaller bottles and sealed shut with no air in it. I believe they lasted for 3 years like that. Once mixed, it's only good for a day in open tray. I've put mixed solution back into (a larger) bottle. In about a weak, it has lost most of it's ability to develop.
