Flowers are highly perishable and start wilting quickly after harvest. A cold room slows down respiration, reduces moisture loss, and preserves freshness, fragrance, and color for longer periods.
Most cut flowers are best stored at 2–5°C with 90–95% relative humidity. However, tropical flowers (like orchids and anthuriums) may require slightly higher temperatures of 10–12°C.
Depending on the variety and packaging, flowers can be stored for 5–15 days, while some tropical flowers last even longer under optimal conditions.
No. Properly designed flower cold rooms maintain freshness, fragrance, and visual appeal without damaging petals or stems.
Roses, carnations, lilies, chrysanthemums, gerberas, orchids, anthuriums, and many other cut flowers can be effectively preserved in cold rooms.
High humidity levels of 90–95% help prevent wilting and dehydration while keeping petals and stems firm.
Flowers should be stored in ventilated cartons, plastic sleeves, or buckets of clean water, depending on the variety. Proper packaging prevents damage and ensures uniform cooling.
Uniform and gentle air circulation is crucial. Too much airflow can dry petals, while stagnant air can cause uneven cooling. Blue Cold chambers are designed for balanced airflow.
Yes, but tropical and temperate flowers may require slightly different temperature ranges. Multi-chamber or zoned cold rooms are recommended for large-scale operations handling diverse varieties.
Blue Cold provides both Freon-based systems (for small to medium facilities) and Ammonia-based systems (for large-scale operations), ensuring precise temperature and humidity control.
Yes. Blue Cold designs flower cold rooms with insulated panels, energy-efficient compressors, and automated controls to reduce power consumption while maintaining ideal conditions.
