From Farm to Doorstep: What Happens After You Order Fresh Orchids Online?

Orchid Flower Online

Farm Selection

The farm is the first place where the selection starts where growers choose orchids that are healthy, vibrant and at the right stage of maturity. The stems with a few open blooms and several unopened buds would be preferred because they last longer and would open gradually after delivery. Harvesting usually would take place in the cool early hours, when the plants would be hydrated and least stressed.

Quality Check

Once harvested, each orchid would go through inspection. The experts would check that  whether the blooms are evenly coloured, free of spots and fully formed. They would examine the stems for strength and flexibility and look for any signs of wilting or bruising. The orchids that would meet these standards will move ahead which would mean the flowers you receive are those that pass the test.


Packing

Orchids are known to have delicate petals as they could bruise easily, hence the packing of the blooms should be done carefully. While packing, the stems are often placed in water tubes or wrapped in moist tissue to keep them hydrated. The orchids are then wrapped with soft paper or a protective sleeve and placed in a sturdy box which would hold everything in place. This would prevent shifting, crushing and moisture loss on the way.

Transportation

The orchids would travel to the delivery location from the farm under conditions that would be designed to preserve freshness. The cool, well -ventilated transport would protect them from heat and sudden temperature which would change or shorten a flower’s life, The careful handling of orchids at every stage and quick dispatch would ensure that they would spend as little time as possible in transit.

Last-Mile Delivery

The final leg of this process is just as important. The delivery partners would be trained to handle flowers gently and to arrive on time, especially for birthdays, anniversaries and other special moments. A careful and timely handover would mean the orchids have reached you looking just as they did when they left the farm. Delivering them on time and carefully would mean that, the orchids have reached you looking just as they did when they left the farm.

After Delivery

Post-delivery, a little care at home for the orchids would go a long way. While unpacking the blooms, open the box and carefully remove the packaging without pulling on the orchids. The blooms have to be trimmed by cutting the stem ends at an angle and placed them in clean, fresh water to make sure they get necessary hydration. Choose a right spot where the orchids would receive bright, indirect light away from direct sun heaters.  The orchids have to be changed every two days to keep the blooms looking fresh.
