Singapore orchids are native to South-East Asia and imported as cut flowers into Melbourne for the florist industry. For best displays and longevity, orchids should be rejuvenated after their long trip, To do this, all they need is a little love and attention. Just follow these simple steps to rehydrate your orchids.
1. Find a bucket large enough which will allow the orchid flowers to be completely emerged in water ( we typically use a round 20L bucket ).
2. Fill the bucket to a depth of around 30 cm with warm / hot water ( around 35 - 40 C ).
3. Submerge the bunched orchids into the water with the tips pointing downward.
4. If the orchids are wrapped in a plastic sleeve, do not remove it, simply cut away the bottom of the wrapping so that air will not be trapped in the packaging when the orchids are submerged in water.
5. Allow the orchids to hydrate in the water for around 30 minutes. There is no need to leave the flowers in the water for hours.
6. Finally, before arranging your orchids in your vase, re-cut the stems by about 1 - 2 cm on an angle.
7. Enjoy your exotic flowers.
* An occasional misting of water ( every 1 - 2 days is sufficient ) onto your orchids is also a good idea for keeping them looking fresh and to improve their longevity.
