Ranunculus are sustainably grown in hoop
houses in Northern & Southern California
under the coastal sunshine.

14 days.

Consumer Bunches.
CARE & HANDLING: Upon arrival cut
stems and place into a clean container with
fresh, tepid water and fresh flower food
solution. (It is especially important to trim
stem ends if plant appears fatigued.)
Remove any foliage below the water. Keep
in cool location out of direct sunlight and
drafts. Replenish water as needed.
Pinch off individual expired blooms to
make room for new emerging flowers.
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.
