Here's a guide on how to care for preserved and dried flowers in Singapore:

General Care Tips

  • Handle with Care: Preserved and dried flowers are delicate and fragile. Avoid bending, pressing, or squishing the petals and stems.

  • Keep Indoors: Place your flowers in an indoor, well-ventilated space.

  • Avoid Sunlight: Keep them away from direct sunlight, as this can cause discoloration and fading.

  • Steer Clear of Water: Do not water the flowers. Avoid placing them in humid areas, such as bathrooms.

  • Combat Humidity: Singapore's high humidity is a key factor in how long your flowers last. To extend their lifespan, consider placing them in an air-conditioned or dry room. Using silica gel packets or a dehumidifier nearby can be very helpful.

Dealing with Mold and Discoloration

  • Discoloration: Over time, the flowers may naturally discolour or fade due to moisture in the air. This is a normal part of the aging process.

  • Mold: During periods of high humidity, especially the rainy season, mold may appear. You can gently clean it off using a small, soft brush and a dry tissue. If the mold doesn't come off, you may need to carefully cut away the affected parts.

Lifespan

  • While preserved and dried flowers are real flowers that have been treated to last for months, their best condition is typically within the first 1-3 months.

  • The exact lifespan depends heavily on the humidity of the environment. With proper care and a dry, well-ventilated space, they can last for a long time.

For Wedding Flowers

  • As these flowers are fragile, expect some wear and tear on boutonnieres and wrist corsages, especially after being worn all day.

  • It is not recommended to throw bridal bouquets made of preserved or dried flowers. Please handle them with care.
