We Can Help Florists Keep Flowers Fresh

Florists need additional storage during peak times. When demand for flowers is high for events and holidays such as Valentine’s Day, proms, and weddings, extra storage is required. Cut flowers can’t be stored just anywhere. They need to be placed in a storage facility with an ideal temperature.

Refrigeration helps keep cut flowers fresh by slowing down the respiration process and reducing the amount of water loss. Flowers are also less likely to wilt when they are kept in a cool environment. Additionally, refrigeration can also slow down the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, which can cause the flowers to deteriorate more quickly.

It’s best to store cut flowers in a refrigerator set between 34 and 36 degrees Fahrenheit. When flowers are stored near fruits, vegetables, or ripening fruits, they will wilt faster from the ethylene gas emitted.

A Chill Wherever mobile cooler provides temporary cold storage which is ideal for excess floral storage. The refrigerated trailer can be parked right outside your back door for ease and convenience for loading and unloading.

It’s important to have a plan for keeping your perishable items safe during emergencies. This will help prevent contamination and spoilage.
