Flower preservation is the process of maintaining the beauty and structure of flowers after they have been cut. This can be achieved through various methods, including drying, pressing, and using chemical solutions. The goal is to extend the lifespan of flowers, allowing them to be enjoyed long after their natural life has ended. One popular technique is air drying, where flowers are hung upside down in a cool, dark place. Another method is pressing, which involves placing flowers between heavy books or in a flower press. Additionally, some people use silica gel to absorb moisture, preserving the flowers' colors and shapes effectively.
