To dry houseplant leaves quickly, you can iron them.
The provided video excerpt details a method using an iron to dry leaves quickly, likely for crafts or scrapbooking. Here's a breakdown of how to do it:
- Prepare the Leaf: Place the leaf on a piece of paper.
- Cover the Leaf: Fold the paper over the leaf, essentially sandwiching it between the paper.
- Add Protection (Optional but Recommended): If the leaf is thin, place parchment paper or grease-proof paper between the leaf and the iron. This prevents sticking and scorching.
- Iron the Leaf: Iron the paper (with the leaf inside) until the leaf is dry.
This method uses the heat from the iron to evaporate the moisture from the leaf, resulting in a dried leaf suitable for various crafting purposes.
