What are preserved flowers and what are they used for?

First of all, do you know what preserved flowers are? If not, in this week's post we are going to explain what they are and what uses you can give to this type of flowers. Preserved flowers are natural flowers that have been dehydrated using chemical products, which allows them to last a long time, even looking fresh, without the need for care, well, just dusting them off once in a while. They are not freeze-dried, nor toxic, they do not grow and they are not artificial. In addition, they allow you to enjoy different types of flowers even out of season, such as roses.

What are the advantages of preserved flowers?

Unlike dried flowers, which are not long-lasting and gradually lose their original appearance and even their petals end up breaking, preserved flowers maintain their nature and freshness without the need for water or light. However, direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight should be avoided. What differentiates them from fresh flowers is that they do not need care and are much more efficient due to their low consumption and long duration. In addition, they are 100% ecological and their carbon footprint is much lower than that of freshly cut or artificial flowers. Flores preservadas maceta
