TLC FOR YOUR DRIED FLOWERS
Dried flowers are fragile & become more fragile over time
NO WATER
Keep them dry at all times
AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT
To slow down fading & maintain colour retention
A QUIET PLACE
Place arrangement in a spot where there’s minimal movement and no wind
GOOD AIRFLOW
Avoid temperature fluctuations especially humid & damp environments - if they become moist, they can become mouldy
. . . .
Give pampas a light shake to fluff it up & to allow excess plume shedding to occur - flyaways and shedding is normal
.
SPRAY
Spray a light coat of unscented hairspray every few months to lock in the fluff and keep the shedding at bay
NO WATER
Keep them dry at all times
