How long do dried florals last?

Dried flowers and other botanicals are treated with a special coating to ensure they last far longer than living plants. Our dried products can last for two or three years with the proper maintenance. Pieces that are bleached or dyed can last even longer!

How do you care for dried botanicals?

The most important aspect of caring for your dried florals is keeping them away from direct sunlight and moisture. Don’t move them around too much, as jostling can cause various pieces to fall off. It’s also a good idea to place them in an area with good airflow, away from children and pets.

Which type of dried botanicals lasts longest?

Since no two types of plants are exactly alike, their lifespans can differ. Generally, dried palms, baby’s breath, grass varieties, and thistles will last the longest. However, they will show signs of shedding as time passes. Driftwood and vase filler can also last longer than the average dried flower.

How can you make dried flowers last even longer?

Heat, moisture, and light are the primary reasons dried flowers decay, but if you want them to last even longer, you can spray them with an acrylic sealer once every year. Lay your florals out on a work surface and spray them evenly. Allow the sealer to dry for at least 30 minutes between coats. Flip over the florals to seal both sides.
