Care & Handling Instructions for Bear Grass

To get the best longevity and appearance out of your Bear Grass, follow these professional florist guidelines:

1. Unpack Immediately: Upon arrival, remove Bear Grass from its box. Cut about ½ inch off the bottom of each stem with a clean, sharp blade or floral scissors.

2. Hydration: Place stems in clean, room-temperature water in a tall container to allow full submersion of the base. Avoid crowding the stems.

3. Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration at 36–46°F is ideal, but not required for short-term use.

4. Design Ready: For looping or weaving, hydrate for at least 4 hours prior to use to ensure stems are pliable and won’t snap.

5. Maintenance: Change the water daily to prevent bacteria buildup. Trim ends every 2–3 days if not used immediately.

6. Shelf Life: When properly cared for, Bear Grass remains fresh for 10–14 days, making it ideal for both early prep and day-of installations.
