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

-
Inspect and Sort
- Check for damaged or wilted stems and remove them.

-
Hydration Prep
