Bulk orchids were shipped directly from our partner flower farms. Before shipping your flowers, we prepare them for their journey with proper hydration methods. Just follow these simple steps: 

1. Open Box and inspect the flowers. If the orchids arrive with water tubes, ensure that there is water in the tubes. There is no immediate need to cut and put them in water. When you are ready to make your arrangements, then move onto step 2. 
2. When you are ready to make your arrangements, cut stems diagonally approximately one inch from bottom under running water with sharp scissors or knife. 
3. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared container. 
4. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
5. Every day, be sure to re-cut the stems repeating the steps above to maximize the life and beauty of your flowers. 

Orchids are shipped in full bloom. There is no need to receive the flowers many days in advance for opening the flower. If you like, you can leave your flowers standing upright with the stems in water in the water tubes until you are ready to design the flowers. Orchids do not like refrigeration and may damage them. Optimal temperature for your orchids is 18C or 65F. Anything cooler than this could potential be harmful and damage the flowers.
