Sorry for such a long post, but I bet you got a feel for how much I like ranunculus…

Here’s where we need some of you experienced florists to speak up. Yesterday, Von from My Fleur Journey left this comment, “I do think ranunculus are awfully sweet, but I am really frustrated with them!! Wanna ask you experienced florists out there, what is the proper way to condition them? I had such a hard time getting them to open to its full as the stems bent after 1 or 2 days for some reason…advice much appreciated!”

Anyone want to give some advice to Von? I always cut the stems with a knife, dip in Quick Dip and place directly in preservative at room temperature. I leave them out of the cooler to allow them to open and usually get them about 2 days before an event. Once they’re in an arrangement, you probably want to place it in a cooler.  Now, let’s hear what the rest of my florist friends do to condition ranunculus…don’t be shy!

Happy Tuesday!
