How To Carry Chopped Orchids?

To transport an orchid, gently wrap it in batting, florists wrapping paper, or tissue paper to protect the flowers and leaves. Secure the paper with tape and wrap it in cotton batting for safe transport. Carefully place the orchid into a large box, foam fruit box, or cooler, using foam blocks to wedge the pot securely in place.

During unpredictable winter weather, transporting flowering orchids can be challenging due to cold, dry air, which can damage or blast the orchid bud or bloom. To preserve freshly cut orchid blooms, place them in water with a little bit of sugar and bleach in a clean vase away from ripe fruits, direct sun, and heat. Or, completely dry them using rePotme products.

To transplant an orchid, find a shallow pot with drainage holes that is one size larger than the pot your orchid is currently in. Gently remove the orchid from its old pot and brush away as needed. Tubes are meant to keep them alive in transit. Place the orchid in a vase with a fresh diagonal cut at the bottom to help them take up water.

Orchids are often packed as individual flowers or spikes, frequently in shredded paper to cushion and protect them from mechanical injury. Store them in a bucket filled halfway with water and put the flowers upright in the water. After cutting, hydrate them immediately with Hydraflor 100 hydrating treatment and transfer stems to a solution of Floralife 200.

Light is essential for long distance transport or prolonged storage of cut flowers. For shorter distances, a simple vase, bucket, or container with water should be fine, but for longer trips, use a specialized flower transport.
