• The stems of the selected flowers are trimmed to the desired length, and any excess foliage or thorns are removed.
• A mixture of water and glycerin is prepared. The ratio of glycerin to water may vary depending on the flower type and the desired level of preservation.
• The flower stems are placed in containers or vases filled with the glycerin solution. It is important to ensure that the cut ends of the stems are fully submerged in the solution.
• Over the course of several days to weeks, the flowers absorb the glycerin solution through their stems. The glycerin replaces the natural moisture in the flowers, gradually preserving their appearance.
• After the absorption process, the flowers are removed from the glycerin solution and allowed to air dry.
• From here the flowers are given their colour - red, pink, golden, or even black roses.

How are preserved fresh flowers different from dried flowers?

The process of preserving roses is vastly different from drying them. When you dry a flower, it’s typically hung upside down for several days to dehydrate the bloom and stem. After a few days or weeks, the roses will be dried. The result is a bouquet that’s brittle, lacks its vibrant color, and is easily breakable.

When it comes to how long dried or preserved roses last, the difference can be astounding. Because air dried flowers have been dehydrated, they are not long lasting and can break or lose petals rather easily. If they’re kept in a safe place, they can last for several months, but if they are accidentally bumped or moved, you’ll have more of a mess than a bouquet.

Preserved roses, on the other hand, can be enjoyed for a much longer period of time. Placed in a vase or on a shelf, you can expect your preserved luxury roses to last one to three years. If you decide to store your flowers in a sealed enclosure, they’ll last even longer — up to 3 years! 

And you can use your preserved luxury roses for more than sitting in a vase. They’re perfect for home décor, floral art, and other craft projects that incorporate flowers and floral arrangements.

Most people don’t know as to how to preserve flowers. So to maintain its delicate allure, handle it with care and follow these simple guidelines to ensure its everlasting beauty remains intact.

• Preserve roses are delicate, so handle them gently to avoid any damage. Avoid touching the petals excessively or applying pressure, as this could cause them to become misshapen or lose their texture.

• Preserved flowers do not require watering. Keep them away from sources of moisture, such as water splashes, humidity, or direct contact with liquids, as it compromises their preservation and causes them to deteriorate.

• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight causes the colors of preserved flowers to fade over time. Display your preserved flower in a location where it won't be exposed to harsh or direct sunlight.

• Over time, preserved flowers may gather dust. Use a soft brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove any dust particles that have settled on the petals or leaves. Be careful not to apply excessive force or touch the flowers directly.

• Preserved flowers are best kept in a cool and dry environment. Avoid placing them in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations, such as near heating vents or drafty windows. Extreme temperatures can affect the preservation quality and lifespan of the flowers.

FAQs

What is the best way to preserve flowers so they last longer?

To preserve flowers and extend their lifespan, the best way is to dry them using various techniques such as air drying, pressing, or using desiccants like silica gel. Air drying involves hanging the flowers upside down in a cool, dry place with good airflow. Pressing involves placing flowers between absorbent materials, like parchment paper, and applying pressure to flatten them. Using desiccants involves burying the flowers in a substance like silica gel to remove moisture gradually.

What types of flowers are best for preservation?

Sturdy flowers with thicker petals, such as roses, hydrangeas, and sunflowers, tend to preserve well. Flowers that have a lower water content and are less prone to wilting or losing their shape are generally better suited for preservation. Delicate flowers with thin petals do not retain their original appearance as effectively.

Are there any safety precautions to take when preserving flowers?

When preserving flowers, it's essential to take safety precautions. Some flowers, like toxic varieties or those treated with pesticides, may be harmful if not handled properly. Wear gloves and ensure proper ventilation when using drying agents like silica gel. If unsure about the safety of a specific flower, it's best to research and seek guidance from professionals or florists.

What are the best conditions for preserving roses?

The best conditions for preserving roses involve a cool and dry environment. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperature fluctuations.
