What are Dried Flowers?

Dried flowers are floral materials made by simply removing moisture from fresh plants through natural air-drying, silica gel drying or low-temperature dehydration. No chemical replacement or glycerin softening treatment is involved during production.

Production Process

Most common varieties are air-dried by hanging upside down in cool, ventilated shaded spaces to evaporate internal water naturally. Some delicate blooms are buried in silica desiccant  for better shape retention.

Key Characteristics

1. Short service life: Only last 6 to 12 months even under sealed dry storage, prone to fading and chipping over time.

2. Brittle texture: Petals are stiff and fragile, easy to crack or fall off when bent or squeezed.

3. Limited color range: Only original natural tones can be retained; special gradient, black or Morandi colors are unavailable and prone to yellowing after long exposur-e.

4. Moisture sensitive: They will turn soft and moldy once exposed to humid air; contact with water is forbidden.

5. Low cost: Simple processing procedures lead to much lower prices than preserved flowers.

6. High transport damage risk: Fragile petals easily break during long-distance shipping.
