submerged mokaras

[Carrieann]

Forgive me if this question has been asked on here before....

If I submerge mokara orchids today for a wedding tomorrow and do NOT put them in the cooler do you think they will hold up??

I don't want to put them in the cooler because it is a morning set up, early afternoon ceremony, and I won't have time to deal with the condensation on the vases.

Thank you for your time.

Just for practicality, I would only fill them halfway before transport, fill them the rest of the way once there, the weight difference will be tremendous.

For sure leave them out of the cooler if you do this, I don't know about complete submersion. Sorry!

Thanks Linda.
That is what I was thinking of doing, should of said that in my original post, sorry about that. I also have the press and seal paper stuff that is meant for left overs in your fridge, works great for transporting vases of water, not spilling, just fill the rest of the way on site.

They ahouls be fine...I would imagine that in the cooler you might have trouble with the water being too cold and making transparencies in the orchids....but out no problems...I actually made a submerged dendrob arrangement last week and it has been out since and just today is looking a bit slimey...

A few weeks ago I got a large shipment of mokaras and a lot of the blooms had fallen off of the stems. So instead of throwing them out, I took a tall cylinder, wounds some wire inside and submerged the orchids. It stayed by the front counter for about 5 days. By the fifth day I had to take some of the transparent orchids blooms out, but a lot of them were still okay.

Soooo, there shouldn't be a problem doing them today!
