What is the process of drying flowers?

When drying flowers and leaves, usually only the finest specimens are chosen. They must be healthy and not picked in moist or rainy weather, but only in sunny weather.

The drying processes are several, and now we will outline some of them:

• Air drying is the easiest method and does not require much effort. The important thing is to find a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, where the leaves and flowers are hung to dry. This could be a hallway or staircase.

 

To achieve the desired result, it is necessary to ensure enough space for the air to circulate freely around each flower and leaf.

 

Note that all flowers and bouquets should be dried upside down. If you pick them green and start to dry them, there’s a high chance they will wilt, while if they are already overblown, they may lose their good appearance.

 

Therefore, it is best to pick them by the stem or branch at their ripening stage, just as the color of the flower begins to change.

 

• Artificial drying – This technique involves using materials like sand, glycerin, an iron, an electric oven, or silica gel.

 

Silica gel is primarily used for drying flowers like: roses, peonies, orchids, tulips and others. This material is used in the form of blue-colored powder, as only in this form it can fully absorb moisture.

If, however, its color is pink it needs to be heated until it turns blue again before use.

 

• Using glycerin is suitable for drying and preserving mostly leaves. In this process, the chosen leaves are placed in a container filled with glycerin for about a month, after which they acquire a shiny and fresh appearance and color.
• Oven drying - For this technique, the flowers must be sprinkled with silica gel, and then placed in a preheated oven for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
