Dried and Preserved flowers are fragile and will change over time. Our dried flowers can last up to 3 years with a little TLC. Just follow these simple care tips:
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Dried flowers naturally change and fade over time from the natural preservation process. Keeping them indoors, away from harsh environments and direct sunlight will help keep the colors intact as long as possible. Keeping them under areas of bright light will not only cause the colors to fade but can also make the flowers brittle and eventually crumble.
Avoid Humidity
Place your dried flowers in a dry room with less humidity and good airflow compared to places with high humidity and temperature fluctuations like the bathrooms, laundries, basements, attics or even the kitchen. Long-term exposure to heat and humidity will cause dried flowers to decay faster, can moisten the petals and leaves, causing them to turn moldy.
Dried Flowers Will Get Dusty
Use an old-fashioned feather duster to clean your dried flowers. This method works best on the sturdier arrangements, or alternatively you can also use a hairdryer. Make sure to set it on a low speed with ‘no heat’ setting to avoid damage to the flowers whilst gently removing dust from your dried flowers and foliage.
Do Not Place Your Dried Flowers in Water
It sounds silly, but unlike fresh flowers dried blooms do not like or need water. It causes their stems to turn brittle, weak and promote mold growth. Keeping them warm and dry will help it thrive.
