Please Note

Your flowers will arrive looking thirsty and sleepy. This is completely NORMAL. Please see our Flower Care tab on this page to learn how to properly care for and handle your flowers.

As flowers are a natural product of Mother Nature and monitor resolutions can differ, the exact color tones of this flower may vary to some degree.

Package contents and prices are based on availability and may change due to weather and market conditions. If a substitution is necessary, we take great care to ensure your order closely matches your original flower choice, even if this means substituting flowers of higher value. While we will make every effort to contact you, there may be rare instances where we are unable to reach you in time. In such cases, we may proceed with substitutions to ensure your order ships on schedule, even without prior verbal confirmation.

Caring for Your Protea

Tropical flowers are shipped fresh directly from our farms to your doorstep. If your flowers appear "sleepy" or "thirsty" after their journey, this is completely normal. These flowers have just completed an international journey and need water. Following the important care and preparation steps below will help rehydrate them and ensure they last as long as possible.


Tropical Flower Care Steps – From Arrival to Use

Step 1: Unpack and Inspect

  • Unpack Promptly: Open your boxes as soon as they arrive and remove any straps or outer packaging such as foam or paper.

  • Inspect Your Flowers: Look over your tropicals for any concerns before continuing with processing.

Step 2: Prepare the Containers

  • Use Clean Buckets: Choose buckets or containers that are clean and free from soap residue or bacteria. Rinse with warm water to help keep your flowers healthy.

  • Add Water: Fill each container with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. If flower food is available, follow the package directions and mix it in.

Step 3: Trim and Place in Water

  • Remove Packaging: Take off any rubber bands or plastic sleeves securing the flower bunches.

  • Remove Foliage Below the Waterline: Strip any leaves that will fall below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.

  • Trim the Stems: Use clean, sharp floral shears or scissors to cut about 1 inch off each stem at a diagonal under cool running water. Avoid using household scissors, which can crush the stems and limit water absorption.

  • Place Immediately: After trimming, place the stems directly into the prepared water.

Step 4: Hydrate and Maintain

  • Hydration Time: Allow tropical flowers to hydrate for at least 4 hours — 8 to 12 hours is ideal.

  • Water & Misting: Check water levels often, as tropicals drink heavily at first. Refill as needed, and mist petals and foliage 1–2 times per day with room temperature water.

  • Temperature & Storage: Keep flowers in a warm room between 65°F–75°F. Do not refrigerate your tropical flowers — cold storage can damage the blooms. Avoid direct sunlight, cold drafts, or excessive heat.

Step 5: Ready to Use

  • Once hydrated, tropical flowers are ready to be arranged. For best results, re-cut the stems every 24–48 hours and refresh the water regularly.


Tips from Our Experts

  • Tropical flowers may arrive looking soft, compressed, or slightly limp due to shipping. This is normal — they will perk up beautifully after proper hydration and misting.

  • Always mist tropical flowers gently with room temperature water once or twice daily to maintain their humidity.

  • These blooms are extremely sensitive to cold. Avoid placing them near vents, open windows, or anywhere below 60°F.

These were so cool, they opened up really well, and they stayed open for a while, with zero problems.

This was the first time I've used the Pin Cushion Protea. They opened up beautifully and held their stunning shape for days. I used one in each arrangement. It was like the bow to the package. Everyone enjoyed their beauty so much.

One arrived completely broken off the stem but I used it as decor elsewhere so it was ok. Other than that, they were beautiful and much larger than I thought they would be. Great texture and color.

The pin cushion flower is such an amazing textural piece. We used it in all of the bouquets as well as on our huppah, and it was a showstopper. FiftyFlowers was thoughtful enough to include a few extras, knowing that a few might lose some pins or get crushed in shipping. Because of that, we received all 20 in perfect condition plus a few extra that ended up a little battered on one side (but still workable).
