Ask the Expert: How can I increase the humidity in my cooler
Hello, I just purchased a 4-month old Bush Refrig. cooler and plugged it in yesterday – I don’t have the manual and my thermometer shows that the humidity is very low – how can I increase this and what is the ideal temp for cut flowers in a floral cooler? Any help is appreciated ! Sheila

Flower Shop Network Plant Expert Reply:I’m not sure how to increase the humidity. However, I have contacted Bush Refrigeration. Hopefully I will have an answer for you shortly.

As for the ideal temperature range, different flowers do better at different temperatures. Most flower shops don’t have the multiple floral cooler in which different temperatures can be set. So, if you only have one cooler the best temperature range is around 37 to 38 degrees.
