Hot take: Switching from a 5-day to a 7-day flower conditioning schedule in my cooler was a game changer for my shop's longevity.

After a wedding last June where the peonies wilted early, I started conditioning all my incoming stems for a full week at 34 degrees, and now my arrangements easily last 10 days longer for clients, so what's the longest you've pushed a specific flower's vase life with a new method?

My cooler space is too tight for that kind of week-long hold... I need that turnover for weekend events.

My cooler's so packed, I've considered stashing stems in the bathroom sink.

Guess your cooler is like my closet, always full when you need space. Maybe try hanging some stems from the ceiling? What's the weirdest place you've ever stored flowers?
