Premium Red Choco Anthurium with a rich red‑brown tone and glossy, sculptural spathe. Packed in a 30‑stem wholesale bulk case for luxury arrangements, weddings, and modern tropical design.

The large spathe creates a bold, architectural silhouette that instantly elevates any arrangement. Its tone sits between burgundy, oxblood, and warm brown—making it a perfect choice for designers working in earthy, modern, or jewel‑tone palettes.
This variety is celebrated for its exceptional vase life, durable texture, and consistent grading, making it ideal for multi‑day events, installations, and premium retail work. The color reads luxurious and contemporary, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional red or burgundy blooms.

Taking care of flowers purchased in bulk is essential to maintain their freshness and extend their vase life, especially if you're using them for resale, events, or arrangements. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you process and care for bulk flowers:
Initial Processing Upon Arrival
-
Unpack Immediately
- Remove flowers from boxes carefully to avoid damage.
- Keep them in a cool, shaded area during unpacking.
-
Inspect and Sort
- Check for damaged or wilted stems and remove them.
- Sort by type and stem length if needed.
-
Hydration Prep
- Remove any foliage that will be below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
- Recut stems at a 45° angle under running water or submerged in water to prevent air bubbles.
-
Use Clean Containers

- Fill with fresh, lukewarm water and add floral preservative (contains sugar, acidifier, and biocide).
Conditioning and Storage

Hydration Period
- Let flowers hydrate for 4–12 hours in a cool, dark place before arranging or selling.
-
Temperature Control
- Store at 34–38°F (1–3°C) for most flowers.
- Avoid storing near fruits (especially apples) which emit ethylene gas that can age flowers prematurely.
-
Humidity
- Maintain high humidity (around 90%) to prevent dehydration.
Ongoing Care
-
Daily Maintenance
- Change water every 1–2 days.
- Recut stems every few days to improve water uptake.
