Special Orchids produces cut flower Cymbidium with the utmost of care and attention to detail. This is why florists receive only the ultimate in quality, which is subsequently reflected in a satisfied end-consumer who can enjoy these superb flowers for a long time. Under the right conditions, Special Orchids’ cut Cymbidium has a vase life lasting a number of weeks. Here is a list of care tips:
- Keep Cymbidium refrigerated at a temperature between 8 and 12°C during transport and storage.
- Handle the stem and flowers with care to prevent them from being dropped or bruised.
- Be particularly careful not to damage the delicate stigma since this can shorten the orchid’s vase life.
- Ensure you have a clean container filled with fresh lukewarm water.
- Refresh the water once a week, each time trimming the stem back at an angle by 3 cm.
- Do not place the flowers near a radiator, in direct sunlight or in a draught.
Tip!
Will you be using the flowers to create an arrangement for a special occasion? If so, insert them into floral water tubes or small vases to prevent any damage should the floral foam not have absorbed enough water.
Enjoy the gold standard!
