Quick answer: Store cannabis flower in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dark, stable place. Limiting exposure to heat, light, air and excess moisture helps preserve its aroma and freshness after harvest.

Keep flower cool and away from light

Store cannabis in a cool, stable, dark place. Excessive heat can accelerate the loss of volatile aromatic compounds, while direct light can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes.

Use an airtight container

An airtight glass container can help limit unnecessary air exchange while preserving the product’s aroma. Avoid leaving flower exposed in open packaging for long periods.

Control moisture

  • Too much moisture can encourage mould and spoilage.
  • Overly dry flower can become harsh and lose aroma.
  • Keep storage conditions stable rather than repeatedly opening the container.

A simple storage routine

  1. Use a clean, airtight container and close it after each use.
  2. Keep the container in a dark place away from heat and direct sunlight.
  3. Avoid repeated handling or leaving flower exposed to room air.
  4. Keep cannabis clearly labelled and securely out of reach of children and pets.
  5. Do not use flower that appears mouldy or has an unusual smell.

Protect the profile you chose

Genetics, drying, curing and age all influence how a strain develops. Good storage helps preserve the terpene and sensory characteristics described on the product profile. Explore current products in the Shop.
