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.
