Our Italian Ruscus is prized for its versatility and incredible durability. Unlike many other types of greenery, Italian Ruscus features flexible, vine-like stems that can be easily manipulated into arches, draped over tables as runners, or tucked into cascading bridal bouquets for a touch of movement.

Each stem is lined with elegant, pointed leaves that maintain their vibrant green color long after being cut. This greenery is exceptionally long-lasting, often remaining fresh for weeks with proper care. Whether you are creating a lush garden-style centerpiece or a dramatic overhead installation, Italian Ruscus provides the refined, high-end look that modern floral design demands.

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.
