Preserved flowers have undergone a preservation process to maintain their beauty and freshness with no need for water or sunlight.

• Long-lasting youth
• No need for light or water
The process of preserving flowers is different from drying them.
Dried flowers are fresh flowers that opened in a vase, and before they died completely we decide to keep them upside down in the dark. After a few days or weeks, the bloom and steam dehydrates and flowers will be dried.
Preserved flowers are also dried, but in a more professional way that makes them last longer.
DO NOT WATER. Preserved flowers do not need water. Sprinkling water or perfume can cause damage.
They should not be kept in a high moisture area or a very dry place.
Avoid contact with direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or fading.
Blow with a hairdryer from a moderate distance when dusty.
The substances used in the preservation process are non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-carcinogenic, non-explosive, and non-chemical reactive. The solutions and colorants are the same as those used in food and medicine. Therefore, they do not represent any health or environmental risk.
