Bulk Orchids are 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. Remove flowers from box. If your Orchids do not arrive in water tubes, go directly to step 2. If your Orchids arrive with water tubes, simply check to make sure the water tubes contain water then prop them upright with the tubes attached. 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. However, keep an eye on the water level inside the tubes. You may need to fill them with water as needed.
   
2. Fill a container with fresh, cool water to the desired level. 
3. Cut stems diagonally approximately one inch from bottom under running water with sharp scissors or knife. 
4. Immediately after cutting, place the stems in the prepared container. 
5. Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts or excessive heat. 
6. Blooms toward the bottom of the stem are older than blooms near the top of the stem. It is normal for the bottom blooms to die sooner. Simply remove any dying blooms daily.
   
7. Every 24 hours, 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 blooming purposes. If you like, you can leave your Orchids standing upright with the stems in the water tubes until you are ready to design the flowers.

Orchids do not like refrigeration; it may damage them. Optimal temperature for your orchids is 18C or 65F. Anything cooler than this could potential be harmful and may damage the flowers.

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