Cattails FALL 15 Bunches

Cattails FALL 15 Bunches

Cattail bunches offer a bold, sculptural element for florists seeking texture and vertical drama in seasonal arrangements. Each stem features a thick, upright stalk topped with a velvety brown spike—often referred to as a “candlewick”—that evokes marshland elegance and rustic charm. Typically ranging from 2 to 3 feet in height, cattails tower gracefully above other stems, making them ideal for large-scale installations, autumn centerpieces, and nature-inspired designs.

Wholesale bunches usually contain 8 to 10 stems, available fresh from late summer through fall or dried for year-round use. Their earthy tone and clean silhouette pair beautifully with sunflowers, millet, hydrangea, goldenrod, and preserved grasses. Whether used in boho weddings, harvest-themed retail displays, or editorial compositions, cattails bring a grounded, architectural quality that elevates both fresh and dried floral work.

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

  1. Unpack Immediately

    • Remove flowers from boxes carefully to avoid damage.
    • Keep them in a cool, shaded area during unpacking.

  2. Inspect and Sort

    • Check for damaged or wilted stems and remove them.
    • Sort by type and stem length if needed.

  3. 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.

  4. Use Clean Containers

    • Sanitize buckets or vases before use.
    • Fill with fresh, lukewarm water and add floral preservative (contains sugar, acidifier, and biocide).

Conditioning and Storage

  1. Hydration Period

    • Let flowers hydrate for 4–12 hours in a cool, dark place before arranging or selling.

  2. 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.

  3. Humidity

    • Maintain high humidity (around 90%) to prevent dehydration.

Ongoing Care

  1. Daily Maintenance

    • Change water every 1–2 days.
    • Recut stems every few days to improve water uptake.
    • Remove any wilting or dead flowers promptly.

  2. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat

    • Keep flowers away from heat sources, drafts, and direct sunlight.

  3. Use Floral Preservatives

    • Continue using preservatives with each water change to nourish and protect the flowers.
