Chocolate Cosmo flowers are shipped directly from our Ecuadorian or Californian partner farms with no water tubes. Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. If your flowers appear sleepy and thirsty after their journey, it is absolutely NORMAL. Just follow these simple steps and your flowers will bloom delightfully. 

1. Remove flowers from box by cutting any straps and also remove all paper and plastic packaging covering the stems of the flowers. 
2. Fill containers with at least an inch of fresh, cool water. 
3. Cut stems diagonally approximately a half an inch from bottom under running water with sharp scissors or knife. 
4. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared water. 
5. Allow flowers at least 4 hours to hydrate well. 
6. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
7. To keep your flowers fresh, be sure to change the water every 1-2 days. Assure that your flowers have sufficient water. Chocolate Cosmos flowers will drink an exceptionally large amount of water upon arrival.

For your Wedding or Special Event, we recommend that you arrange to have your Chocolate Cosmos delivered 1 to 2 days before the actual event. For a Saturday wedding your flowers should be delivered on the Thursday or Friday before the wedding.
