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
- Sanitize buckets or vases before use.
- 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.
