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.

Supplies Checklist

• Clean buckets/vases
• Floral preservative
• Sharp floral shears or knives
• Gloves (optional)
• Cooler or refrigerated storage
• Labels for sorting
