Aftercare Instructions
Artificial, Dried & Preserved Arrangements
Dried and preserved flowers are long‑lasting, low‑maintenance, and designed to bring beauty to your space for months — even years — with the right care. To keep your arrangement looking its best, follow these simple guidelines:
1. Keep Them Dry
Avoid water, humidity, and damp areas.
Do not mist or spray your arrangement — moisture can cause colours to fade, stems to weaken, or mould to develop.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight
Place your arrangement away from harsh, direct sunlight.
Prolonged exposure can cause colours to bleach or fade more quickly.
3. Handle With Care
Dried and preserved flowers are delicate and may shed slightly over time.
Avoid frequent touching or moving the arrangement to minimise breakage.
4. Keep Away From Heat Sources
Avoid placing arrangements near heaters, fireplaces, or air‑conditioning vents.
Excessive heat can make stems brittle.
5. Dust Gently
Use a soft brush, feather duster, or a cool, gentle hairdryer setting to remove dust.
Avoid strong airflow, which may damage delicate blooms.
6. Avoid Outdoor Use
Dried and preserved flowers are intended for indoor display only.
Outdoor conditions (wind, moisture, sun) will significantly shorten their lifespan.
7. Natural Variations
Some fading, shedding, or colour change over time is normal and part of the natural beauty of dried botanicals.
Preserved flowers may soften or stiffen slightly depending on room conditions.
