Wholesale florists - where do the florists buy their supplies?

Flower trade is a very specific art. Flowers and plants are delicate products, so you need to take particular care of their beauty and freshness. It is a great skill to order specific plants at the right time - at the right time, at the right time, on the right day and in the right season.

You also need to know how much to buy in order to offer the customer a product in the best possible condition. It is also important to be able to sell it skillfully and quickly, because it may not look so attractive for the next day.

Flowers, which we buy for different occasions (or without opportunity) must go a long way to find themselves in our florist. Florists buy from three different sources. This allows them to offer their customers a wide range of flowers from all over the world and at any time of the year.

Where do café owners get their flowers from? They can buy them on Polish or foreign flower exchanges, online or in large flower wholesalers. It is impossible not to mention the Dutch stock exchanges from foreign exchanges, because the homeland of flowers is the Netherlands. That is why Polish companies more and more often import plants from the Netherlands - cooperation with the Dutch is beneficial and profitable for them.

What does the flower market look like?

Flowers on the Dutch stock exchanges sell at a fast pace. Every morning, hundreds of people buy fresh flowers on the biggest stock exchanges. One of them is, for example, Van der Plas. Flowers are sold there in big boxes. In addition to the product itself, you will find information about specific flowers and growers.

The main place is the stock exchange with a clock, where the price of the product is determined on an ongoing basis. Interestingly, the hands of the clock work in the opposite direction to the classic analog hardware - indicating the price from the highest to the lowest. Persons who participate in the stock exchange have special equipment with buttons with which they can stop the clock. Of course, the buyer who offers the highest price wins.

Flower markets are opened at night and early in the morning, because the flowers are then freshest - florists buy them before opening their florist.

Flower market online

In order to buy flowers from the Dutch stock exchange we do not need to go to the Netherlands. Nowadays we have the possibility to order flowers in online shops, which will gain in popularity and more and more companies offer this way of purchase. Flower producers and growers place great emphasis on the export of flowers, so they meet the expectations of customers. Thanks to the introduction of comfortable and modern solutions, the company will gain new customers and will enjoy prestige and reputation.

The flower markets must be in good conditions so that the plants exhibited there do not wilt and retain their freshness for as long as possible. Exotic flowers, which can be used to make various bouquets and beautiful original flower arrangements, such as Hawaiian garlands (so-called lea), are particularly desired by customers. It is known that oriental plants belong to one of the more expensive ones, but it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that they come from distant countries, and thus, their import costs. Exotic flowers have to travel thousands of kilometers before they reach the florist.

Import of exotic plants

How should transport look like to keep them looking and smelling? Flowers are transported by special vehicles, in which the plants are provided with appropriate temperature and humidity. In addition, the flowers are transported in large boxes to prevent crushing.
