Packing: Please note that Whole Blossoms gerberas coming from South America are packed in bunches of 10 stems with straws and nets. Gerberas coming from domestic farms could be packed in bunches of 5 or 10 stems with cups and sleeves.

Arranging Tips: Gerbera stems are fragile and can break if not treated gently. If the gerbera heads fall while arranging, use floral wire to connect the stems with the gerbera heads. Gerberas look beautiful when arranged without fillers. However, we recommend mixing gerberas with roses, hypericum, chrysanthemums and hydrangeas since gerberas blend very well with these flowers.

If a chosen color and/or variety is unavailable at the time of shipping, Whole Blossoms will match the color and/or variety as closely as possible. Farm growing conditions, weather conditions, market demand, and other general forces may result in the unavailability of the flowers shown without notice.

Your fresh Whole Blossoms Gerberas will need to be hydrated upon arrival.

Our Gerbera Daisy Flowers are shipped dry and must be trimmed and hydrated immediately upon receipt. Lack of water or failure to trim flowers properly can wilt and/or kill flowers.

Unpack Gerberas as soon as you receive them and cut about one inch of the stem at an angle (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). If the flowers are not going to be displayed immediately, try to keep them in a fresh place preferably (48F-65F) and at least 80% humidity. Keep flowers in water at all times to hydrate them and add floral preservative. If floral preservative is not available, pour a spoon of sugar in the water (to help open the flowers) and one drop of bleach (to keep bacteria away). Do not put more than one drop of bleach in the water. Replace water and floral preservative every two days to ensure long vase life. Do not store flowers in front of an AC unit since blowing air can dry your flowers. Do not store your flowers inside of the refrigerator.

Gerberas are delicate and can wilt very easily if handled improperly. If their stems appear slightly bent upon arrival, place a wire mesh or plastic grid cover on the container and insert the flowers upright with stems hanging straight down into the water.

When storing your flowers, make sure that they are not moved from cold to hot or from hot to cold temperatures since drastic temperature changes will burn flowers.

Gerberas are ethylene sensitive so they need to be kept away from fruit and vegetables to ensure long vase life. 

When placing your Gerbera order for a Wedding or Special Event, we recommend that you schedule for receipt of your Gerbera Daisy flowers 2-3 days before your event. For a Saturday wedding, your flowers would therefore be delivered on the Wednesday or Thursday before the wedding.
