Dried flowers and foliage are naturally long-lasting products designed for indoor use and require minimal maintenance when displayed correctly.
For best results, keep dried flowers away from direct sunlight and moisture. High humidity can soften stems and affect structure over time. Dried flowers do not require watering.
Handle with care during styling and repositioning, and avoid areas with strong airflow. Light dusting with a soft brush or gentle cool airflow may be used to maintain appearance.
Preserved florals are treated using glycerine-based preservation methods to retain softness, flexibility, and colour. They are intended for indoor display only and perform best in stable environmental conditions.
Avoid placing preserved flowers in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in damp or humid environments such as bathrooms or kitchens. Changes in humidity or temperature may cause some preserved flowers to naturally exude small amounts of plant oils or pigments. This is a normal characteristic of preserved botanical materials.
In humid or damp conditions, preserved flowers may not be fully colourfast and occasional colour transfer can occur, particularly if placed in contact with porous or absorbent surfaces such as fabric, untreated wood, or painted finishes. Careful placement is recommended in professional, retail, and hospitality settings.
Preserved flowers should not be watered. When displayed in suitable indoor conditions, they offer long-lasting beauty with minimal ongoing care.
