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.
