Flower drying: 3 effective methods

Flower drying: 3 effective methods

The easiest way to dry a bouquet of flowers at home is to use hair spray. Wait for the right moment (before the bouquet wags, but some time after its cut). Then you should hang the bouquet with roots up in a fairly dry, ventilated dark place. Spray the bouquet gently spray for hair and wait until the flowers dry out.

This, of course, is a simple drying way, but not always successful. Florists use more reliable methods. If you also want to increase the chances of good drying the bouquet, then try to use the advice used by the florists.

So, the basis of professional drying of flowers is 3 methods:

Drying air

Drying with silica gel

Drying glycerin

It is very important that each part of the plant reaches a certain period of ripening, then it is guaranteed to successfully pass drying.

So, some plants must be torn off with buds, others – in the floor of the opened state of flowers, others – after flowering.

If you decide to cut flowers for drying, then inform you what degree of maturity is necessary for this type of plant and decide on the method of drying. effect
