Care and storage of preserved and dried flowers
Posted by Elodie Kanitzky on
In short: Preserved and dried flowers need no water, no trimming and no repotting. All that matters is the right location and careful dusting.
The right location
- Indoors, out of direct sunlight.
- Away from the airflow of air conditioning or heating.
- In a room above 12 °C.
- Below 80 % humidity, so not in bathrooms or damp cellars.
- No light needed: the products also work in darker rooms.
How do I dust them? With a hairdryer on the cold setting and lowest airflow, held at a distance.
How should stock be stored in a shop or warehouse? Dry, dark and in the original packaging. Don't stack it, so the flowers aren't crushed.
My preserved flowers are "dripping": what should I do? This happens in cold, humid conditions. Move them to a warmer, drier room and keep them off porous materials to avoid stains.
Can I spray a moss wall with water? No. Preserved moss must never be watered or sprayed.
