Cold chain starts before the flight
For fresh flowers, flight time is only one part of the process. Harvest timing, grading, pre-cooling, bunching and carton density decide how the flowers perform after arrival.
Packing should match the flower type
Roses, hydrangea, lisianthus and gypsophila need different protection logic. Buyers should not judge shipment readiness by one product photo only.
Arrival handling matters
After arrival, quick pickup, temperature stability, rehydration and inspection feedback help protect vase performance and reduce repeated problems.
How BloomLeaf uses feedback
Batch photos, arrival comments and replacement tolerance can be used to adjust grade, openness, packing density and category mix for the next order.

FAQ
Is air freight alone enough to protect flowers?
No. Air freight must be combined with pre-cooling, packing, pickup and destination handling.
What should buyers record after arrival?
Temperature impression, openness, damage rate, hydration, color match and sellable condition.
Can cold-chain instructions differ by flower?
Yes. Hydrangea, roses, lisianthus and gypsophila should not be handled exactly the same.
