Our Horsetail Rush is selected for its deep green color and consistent stem thickness. Each stem is naturally segmented, creating a prehistoric and structural aesthetic that stands out in any arrangement.

Because of its rigidity, Horsetail is incredibly versatile; it can be used vertically to add height, woven into intricate structures, or even cut into small sections to line the inside of clear glass vases. It is exceptionally long-lasting and thrives in water-heavy environments, making it a reliable choice for event work and contemporary office displays.

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.
