Properly caring for dried roses ensures they retain their beauty for years. Here's how:
Handling and Placement
- Gently Fluff: Upon receiving your dried rose arrangement, gently fluff the petals to restore their natural shape and volume. Avoid rough handling which could damage the delicate petals. (Reference 1)
- Sunlight Avoidance: Keep your dried roses out of direct sunlight. Prolonged sun exposure causes fading and can damage the petals and overall color. (Reference 2)
- No Water: Dried roses do not need watering. In fact, moisture is harmful and will cause mold or mildew. (Reference 3)
Maintenance
- Stem Trimming: If necessary, carefully trim the stems with sharp scissors to maintain the desired shape or length of your arrangement. (Reference 4)
- Humidity Control: Store your dried roses in a dry place to prevent damage from excess moisture. Avoid damp or humid areas. (Reference 5)
Display and Storage Tips
- Consider displaying your dried roses in a sealed glass container or under a glass dome. This helps to further protect them from dust and humidity.
- For long-term storage, consider placing your dried roses in a cool, dark, and dry place such as a closet or drawer.
By following these simple steps, you can preserve your dried roses and enjoy their beauty for a long time.
