Do not sprinkle orchid blooms with water since this can damage blooms giving them a transparent look. DO NOT place orchids in the refrigerator since this will damage their blooms. If orchids are going to be arranged after 3 days of being received, cut about one inch of the stem at an angle under water (with a sharp knife NOT scissors). Remove foliage that could fall under water to avoid bacteria to build�in and place the flowers in clean, fresh, warm, filtered water (100F�105F). Rehydrate for at least an hour before using and add floral preservative. If the Orchids are not going to be displayed immediately, try to keep them in a fresh place preferably (50F�55F) and at least 80% humidity in fresh water with floral preservative. Replace water and floral preservative every other day to ensure freshness. Frequent misting of cut orchids will lengthen their vase life.
