Preserve Fresh Flowers with Silica Gel
Silica Gel is a desiccant (a.k.a. drying agent) that dries out the flowers while maintaining their bright colour and structure.
Here's How It Works
Step 1:
Prepare a base layer of Silica Gel, about 1-2cm thick
Step 2:
Place your flowers onto the Silica Gel layer. (Optional: Consider cutting off the flower stems to fit more flowers inside)
Step 3:
Add another layer of Silica Gel on top of your flowers, and repeat as necessary.
Step 4:
Wait for 5-7 days, or when the Silica Gel beads to change from blue to pink. This indicates that the beads have absorbed moisture from the flowers
Step 5:
Carefully pour the excess Silica Gel into another container, picking out your dried flowers in the process
Step 6:
Use your dried flowers for any DIY project! To make them into coasters, consider using our Bouquet Preservation DIY Kit
DO NOT air-dry your flowers❌
Air-drying your flowers guarantees that they’ll turn into a sad, brown shade – especially because of exposure to our humid environment! Colours fade very quickly, but drying flowers with Silica Gel retains its colours.
