Drying flowers helps to preserve their beauty and sentimental value hence fresh flower farmers can venture into this business during this COVID-19 pandemic.

With this type of business, you don’t necessarily need formal education. However, your willingness to experiment with different types of plants and techniques is key.

a) Pressing flowers – Here you press the flowers in a non-glossy book or old books which will help you preserve the color of the flower as well.

b) Wax preservation method – You’ll need a melted paraffin wax in which you’ll keep the flowers to completely coat. This method is applicable for flowers with thicker petals which will give you good souvenirs.

c) Hot air flower drying – flowers are hanged in a ventilated room with the temperature that is 30°C for many hours to let them dry. This method is ideal for commercial purposes.

d) Silica gel preservation – you’ll use an airtight container because flowers must be completely covered in the powder for effectiveness.

e) Microwave drying – put the flowers in the microwave or oven; as it heats, the liquid inside flowers escapes as vapor dying the blooms. This method is also safe and quick, it will save you time and resources.

Those are just but a few ways that you can use to preserve flowers for your dried flower business.
