Please Note
Your flowers will arrive looking thirsty and sleepy. This is absolutely NORMAL. Please see our Flower Care tab on this page to learn how to properly care for and handle your flowers.
As flowers are a natural product of Mother Nature and monitor resolutions can differ, the exact color tones of this flower may vary to some degree.
Package contents and prices are based on availability and may change due to weather and market conditions. If a substitution is necessary, we take great care to ensure your order closely matches your original choice, even if this means substituting items of higher value. While we will make every effort to contact you, there may be rare instances where we are unable to reach you in time. In such cases, we may proceed with substitutions to ensure your order ships on schedule, even without prior verbal confirmation.
Caring for Your Tropical Flowers
Tropical flowers are shipped fresh directly from our farms to your doorstep. If your flowers appear "sleepy" or "thirsty" after their journey, this is completely normal. These flowers have just completed an international journey and need water. Following the important care and preparation steps below will help rehydrate them and ensure they last as long as possible.
Tropical Flower Care Steps – From Arrival to Use
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect
Unpack Promptly: Open your boxes as soon as they arrive and remove any straps or outer packaging such as foam or paper.
Inspect Your Flowers: Look over your tropicals for any concerns before continuing with processing.
Step 2: Prepare the Containers
Use Clean Buckets: Choose buckets or containers that are clean and free from soap residue or bacteria. Rinse with warm water to help keep your flowers healthy.
Add Water: Fill each container with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. If flower food is available, follow the package directions and mix it in.
Step 3: Trim and Place in Water
Remove Packaging: Take off any rubber bands or plastic sleeves securing the flower bunches.
Remove Foliage Below the Waterline: Strip any leaves that will fall below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
Trim the Stems: Use clean, sharp floral shears or scissors to cut about 1 inch off each stem at a diagonal under cool running water. Avoid using household scissors, which can crush the stems and limit water absorption.
Place Immediately: After trimming, place the stems directly into the prepared water.
Step 4: Hydrate and Maintain
Hydration Time: Allow tropical flowers to hydrate for at least 4 hours — 8 to 12 hours is ideal.
Water & Misting: Check water levels often, as tropicals drink heavily at first. Refill as needed, and mist petals and foliage 1–2 times per day with room temperature water.
Temperature & Storage: Keep flowers in a warm room between 65°F–75°F. Do not refrigerate your tropical flowers — cold storage can damage the blooms. Avoid direct sunlight, cold drafts, or excessive heat.
Step 5: Ready to Use
Once hydrated, tropical flowers are ready to be arranged. For best results, re-cut the stems every 24–48 hours and refresh the water regularly.
Tips from Our Experts
Tropical flowers may arrive looking soft, compressed, or slightly limp due to shipping. This is normal — they will perk up beautifully after proper hydration and misting.
Always mist tropical flowers gently with room temperature water once or twice daily to maintain their humidity.
These blooms are extremely sensitive to cold. Avoid placing them near vents, open windows, or anywhere below 60°F.

Customer Reviews
My daughter and I did my brothers wedding flowers, Hawaiian style as he lived in Maui for many years. It was awesome that we found this site to order the flowers from. Fifty Flowers had a nice variety of flowers to choose from. Quality was good although I would highly suggest your shipping date should be close to your event. The date we chose to arrive was Wednesday and our event was Sunday. We wanted to make sure the flowers arrived in time to design. My daughter and I are both designers at our local flower shop. Some of the greens were super wimpy by Sunday and we tried to recut and hydrate but they didn’t perk up. Some of the flowers had brown tips on them also, which we just sniped off. Overall, we were pleased. The customer care service was really great and communicated well. We have another event coming up and will order from this company again. Thank you Fifty Flowers for your beautiful flowers.
