Detailed explanation-1: -many fresh cut flowers will last longer if you store them in a cool climate. While you probably want to look at flowers during the, you can store them in the refrigerator overnight. This will allow the flowers more time to soak up the water and maintain their freshness.
Detailed explanation-2: -Flowers are also transported by road and rail over fairly long distances. The movement of flowers by trains and trucks over more than 100 km is been found. Trucks, tempos and buses are used for transportation between large cities.
Detailed explanation-3: -For most cut flowers, the ideal range is from 33°F to 35°F. Tropical flowers, however, require 50 to 55°F. Temperatures above the optimum levels reduce vase life and quality. Keeping flowers cool slows down respiration rate and maximizes vase life.
