Fluid retaining device for keeping flowers in hydrated state which is composed of an absorbent gel-free pad in order to prevent leaks by retaining fluids, being said pad covered with a water-proof layer for maintaining a permeable or semi-permeable material inside. Said pad can be either completely or partially sealed in both edges to provide a small pouch covering and protecting the lower part of the stalks. The pouch is then held with rubber bands both in the upper and lower part. The permeable material is soaked with fluids. In contact with the stalks, the moisture needed by the flowers during packing and storage as well their freshness until they reach their final destination are provided.
