How are forever roses made
The flowers bought will lose their original beauty after being left at home for a few days. If you want them to stay youthful forever, Sister Huayang has a good idea to turn them into eternal flowers! It retains the original three-dimensional sense and allows for long-term viewing.
Now let me introduce you to the immortal flower that I personally love very much. Let’s first understand the immortal flower from the following four aspects~
What is the Eternal Flower?
Eternal flowers, also known as protective flowers or ecological flowers, are also referred to as “flowers that never wither” in foreign countries. Eternal flowers are dried flowers made from fresh cut flowers such as roses, carnations, butterfly orchids, and hydrangeas, which undergo a series of complex processes including dehydration, decolorization, drying, and dyeing.
Eternal flowers are almost identical to fresh flowers in terms of color, shape, and feel. They maintain the characteristics of fresh flowers and have richer colors, higher uses, and a storage time of at least 3 years. They are the most ideal flower deep processing products for floral design, home decoration, and celebration activities.
Although Yongsheng Flower is currently one of the best-selling flower products in the world, due to technological limitations, the production of Yongsheng Flower in China mostly belongs to the “small workshop” production mode, and its production technology is still in the exploratory stage, with very little product supply.
Is the eternal flower a dried flower?
Eternal flowers and dried flowers are two different things. Eternal flowers are made through dehydration, drying, and other processes, which are much more complex than making dried flowers. Visually and tactilely, Eternal flowers are very similar to fresh flowers, while dried flowers lose their luster and softness, and become more fragile.
How difficult is it to make eternal flowers?
Material selection
To become an immortal flower, one should choose the flower with the best appearance. The flower has just bloomed and matured, with thick and full petals, tough texture, and low moisture content. The commonly used flower materials are roses and carnations.
Dehydration and decolorization
Flowers need to be soaked in special chemical reagents for decolorization and dehydration.
Dyeing
Fresh flowers that have lost their color should be re colored with dye.
Drying treatment
There are many ways to dry flowers, the simplest of which is to let them dry naturally.
Eternal life flowers are not something that ordinary people can easily DIY. Even with a rough production method, sufficient equipment, raw materials, and professional personnel are needed, so the production of eternal life flowers is indeed not easy.
Do eternal flowers also need maintenance?
Although it is called an eternal flower, it also needs to be carefully maintained in order to last longer.
Tips
Do not place flowers in excessively hot or strong light environments. Eternal roses are very delicate and should not be touched frequently with your hands. Do not water, do not place outdoors, and do not expose to direct sunlight. If covered with dust, use a hair dryer to blow away the dust gently with cold air. If the indoor environment is humid, do not expose the flower materials to the air for a long time.
