FAQ

Preserving flowers with silica gel is one of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain their natural beauty and shape. Silica gel works by gently drawing out moisture while keeping the petals’ vibrant colors intact - perfect for creating long-lasting keepsakes or floral resin art pieces.

Here’s how to use silica gel for flower preservation:

  1. Prepare your flowers: Choose the flowers which are free from damage or bruising. Trim the stems and remove excess leaves.

  2. Fill a container with silica gel: Pour a layer (about 2–3 cm) of flower-drying Silica Gel powder into the airtight container provided with every order.

  3. Place the flowers inside: Arrange your flowers face-up and gently cover them with more Silica Gel until they are completely submerged.

  4. Seal and wait: Close the lid tightly and let the flowers dry for 5–7 days. 

  5. Remove and store: Carefully remove the flowers and brush off any remaining Silica Gel. Store them in a dry place as humidity will cause them to lose their colour.

Silica gel is reusable and ideal for DIY flower preservation projects, making it perfect for wedding bouquets, or flowers from any special occasion!

Yes, you can air-dry your flowers, but it’s a slower method compared to using Silica Gel and does not preserve the same vibrant colors or natural shape.

Air-drying works best for low-moisture flowers like baby’s breath or lavender, that can retain their form even after losing moisture. Other common flowers such as roses, daisies, or sunflowers typically lose their shape and colour when air-drying.

While air-drying flowers is an easy, no-cost method, it causes most petals to darken or shrink. If you want to keep the flower’s natural color and shape - especially for resin art or keepsakes - drying them with Silica Gel gives a more professional, long-lasting result.

Yes! Our Silica Gel is easily reusable by reheating in the microwave or the oven. Instructions for reheating the Silica Gel are provided on every box, so you can easily use it for your next project.

No, silica gel itself is not toxic as they are made of silicon dioxide which is inert (inactive) and passes through the body harmlessly if ingested. However, the small packets of silica gel desiccant found in food can be a choking hazard, especially for children and pets.

Preserved flowers can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, and sometimes even longer if they’re stored properly. Unlike fresh flowers that wilt within days, preserved blooms maintain their natural beauty and softness, especially if they were dried with Silica Gel, or other methods such as glycerin treatments that remove moisture while keeping the petals’ color and shape.

To make your preserved flowers last longer:

  • Keep them away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading.

  • Avoid humidity or water, as moisture can lead to mold or petal curling.

  • Store in a cool, dry place or display them inside a glass dome to protect against dust.

With the right care, flowers preserved with Silica Gel can stay beautiful for years - making them perfect for wedding bouquets, Valentine’s Day gifts, as they can be preserved into keepsakes that last long after the memories fade.

Preserving your flowers lets you capture the beauty and sentiment of special moments long after they’ve passed. Whether it’s a wedding bouquet, anniversary gift, or graduation bloom, floral preservation allows you to turn fresh petals into lasting keepsakes that hold emotional and decorative value.

Using methods like Silica Gel flower preservation, you can maintain the flower’s natural color, shape, and texture — ideal for displaying in a glass dome, framing as art, or embedding in resin jewelry and home décor. Preserved flowers are also eco-friendly and long-lasting, offering a sustainable way to enjoy nature’s beauty without waste.

Preserving your flowers is a beautiful way to turn fleeting moments into timeless memories.

Here’s How to Dry and Preserve Flowers in Singapore

Flowers are more than just decorations – they capture special memories from weddings, anniversaries, and celebrations. If you’ve ever wished you could keep your bouquet looking beautiful forever, flower preservation is the perfect solution. Whether you want to frame your blooms, display them in a glass dome, or create resin keepsakes, here’s how to dry and preserve your flowers in Singapore’s humid climate.

1. Start With Fresh, Healthy Flowers

The key to beautiful preserved blooms is to start with fresh flowers that are free of bruises or browning petals. Roses, carnations, baby’s breath, hydrangeas, and daisies are all great choices for preservation.

If your flowers are from a wedding bouquet or special occasion, begin drying them within 1-2 days to prevent wilting.

2. The Silica Gel Method (Best for Singapore’s Humid Weather)

In Singapore’s tropical humidity, air-drying can cause flowers to mold or lose their color. That’s why many DIY enthusiasts prefer using Silica Gel crystals — a moisture-absorbing material that preserves flowers quickly and beautifully.

How to use Silica Gel to preserve flowers:

  1. Pour a layer of flower-drying silica gel into an airtight container.
  2. Trim and place your flowers face-up in the container.
  3. Gently cover the blooms with more silica gel until fully submerged.
  4. Seal the lid and leave it for 5–7 days.
  5. Once dry, remove the flowers and brush off any remaining crystals.

This method helps your flowers retain their shape and vibrant colors, making them ideal for resin art, home décor, or keepsake gifts.

3. Air-Drying (For Simple Home Projects)

If you don’t have Silica Gel, air-drying is another easy option. Simply tie your flower stems together and hang them upside down in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated room for about 2-3 weeks. While this method is free and easy, flowers may turn darker and more brittle – making it less ideal for long-term display in Singapore’s humid conditions.

4. Microwave Drying (Fastest Method)

For quick results, you can also microwave your flowers with Silica Gel. Place the flowers in a microwave-safe container filled with Silica Gel, heat them in short bursts (1-2 minutes), and check frequently until dry. This is perfect for small projects or resin crafts when you need results fast.

5. Display or Create Keepsakes

Once your flowers are preserved, you can use them in endless creative ways:

  • Arrange them in a glass dome with fairy lights for a romantic display.
  • Encapsulate them in resin coasters, trinkets, or jewelry.
  • Frame your preserved bouquet as a lasting home décor piece.

6. Where to Buy Silica Gel for Flower Drying in Singapore

You can easily find Silica Gel for flower preservation online or at local craft stores. Look for fine, reusable silica gel crystals designed specifically for flower drying to get the most professional results. The Summer Alcove’s Silica Gel is specially formulated for that.

If you’re new to preservation, consider getting a DIY Bouquet Preservation Kit, which includes Silica Gel, instructions, and tools to help you get started.

Final Thoughts

Preserving flowers in Singapore is easy once you know the right techniques. Using Silica Gel is the most reliable way to protect your blooms from humidity and keep their colors bright for years. Whether you’re crafting a sentimental keepsake or simply love floral décor, these simple methods let you turn fresh flowers into timeless memories.
