Are preserved flowers “fake” flowers?

No, preserved flowers are 100% real flowers that have gone through a high-tech eco-friendly process that allows them to maintain their natural appearance and feel.

Are preserved flowers the same as dried flowers?

No, preserved flowers undergo a special preservation process to maintain their natural beauty and flexibility for an extended period, while dried flowers are created by removing moisture from fresh flowers, often resulting in a more brittle and aged appearance.

How long do preserved flowers last?

The typical duration of a preserved flower can vary depending on factors such as the preservation method used, environmental conditions, and handling. Generally, preserved flowers can last anywhere from several months to several years when properly cared for.

Are they easy to maintain?

Caring for preserved flowers is quite simple:

• Do not expose to direct sunlight

• Do not water nor expose to high humidity

• Brush to gently remove the dust when needed

• Keep flowers at room temperature

Are preserved flowers more expensive than fresh flowers?

Overall, preserved flowers can be more cost effective. This is because they don’t need to be replaced as often, they don’t require any water (reduces water usage), minimum maintenance needed reduces labor associated costs, and generates less waste which translates to less disposal fees.

What makes preserved flowers more sustainable than fresh cut flowers?

Approximately 40% of all fresh cut flowers make it to their final destination compared to approximately 90% of preserved flowers substantially reducing waste.

Due to their long lasting nature preserved flowers do not need to be replaced every 7 to 14 days unlike fresh cut flowers.

After a fresh flower goes through the preservation process it no longer requires refrigeration for transportation and storage in order to extend its life cycle. This massively reduces the energy consumption throughout the supply chain. For this same reason most preserved flowers are easily transported by boat without the time constrains of fresh flowers that require the fast paced refrigerate airline transport.

Is the preservation process harm full for the environment?

No, the high-tech preservation process only uses naturally sourced solvents like ethanol from sugar cane or glycerine. This makes them 100% biodegradable. The process also eliminates any bacteria or microorganisms that might otherwise be found in fresh flowers eliminating allergy risk in humans and agricultural risk to the importing countries.
