Preserved flowers are treated cut material rather than living plants. Follow the product instructions and keep display care separate from watering potted flowers.
Preserved flowers are treated material
Preserved flowers are cut plant material processed for display. They are not living plants and do not need watering. Their appearance and durability depend on the material and the product used to preserve it.
Do not treat A and B as a formula
Letters on a bottle do not identify its contents or instructions. Different products can require different handling and processing. Use a complete, labeled preservation system and follow its own directions rather than copying fixed soaking times from an unidentified recipe.
Display care
Keep finished flowers in the conditions recommended by their supplier. Handle petals gently and check the display for dust or dampness. A claim that a flower is permanent does not mean it can withstand water, direct sun or repeated handling.
