Immortal flowers and dried flowers that suddenly began to be hot a few years ago, because of their long flowering period, strong ornamentality, and no need for maintenance, are loved by many young people. When taking the subway, flowers often see girls holding a bouquet of immortal flowers, which has also become a recent fashion trend.
For flower lovers, it is of course not necessary to buy these flowers separately, so how to make immortal flowers and dried flowers with unlimited flowering period from existing flowers?
First of all, let's briefly introduce the difference between the two.
1. Duration
Although the flowering period of both is close to "infinite" compared to flowers, dried flowers have been depleted of water after all, so as long as the dry environment is maintained, it can be maintained for up to ten years;
Immortal flowers can only be maintained for 3 to 5 years because they still contain water, but they have been stored for a long time for flowers with water.

2. Appearance
Dry flowers, in short, "dry flowers", dry out while maintaining their original form, but over time they will also fade a little;

3. Price
The production of dried flowers is relatively simple, so the price is cheap. Immortal flowers in China currently have no mature production methods, cumbersome procedures, most of the immortal flowers on the market are still imported, the price is naturally more expensive.
It is not difficult to see that the production process of immortal flowers is more complicated, and it is difficult to achieve at home after dehydration, decolorization, drying, re-dyeing and other procedures, so the flowers are not explained here.
The production method of dried flowers is still very easy to master, and then Huahua will share the most common dried flower production methods.
1. Pick flowers
Try to choose small but strong flowers, that is, flowers that do not easily drop petals, such as small daisies, lavender, etc. In order to better screen in the future, you can also prepare more flowers that have just opened.
2. Divide the flowers
The leaves on each peduncle should be removed, according to the variety of flowers, put the flowers of each variety together, if it is a rose, orange stem, these flowers are relatively large flowers, each flower should be separated and dried separately, pay attention to the strength of removal, sorting should be small, do not break the flower stem Oh.
3. Bundle flowers
Prepare a strong and large rubber band and wind it many times by means of two or three small bundles and a large bundle. The purpose of this is to stop the peduncle from being immobilized during the air drying process due to lack of water atrophy.
Note: The rubber band should not be tied too tightly, it will hurt the flower stem. Flower lovers who are not afraid of trouble can use small strings such as twine to bind, but they must be re-bundled when the flower stem is reduced later.
4. Upside down
It is enough to hang bundles of flowers upside down and place them in a dark, dry and ventilated environment, so as to prevent the flowers from rotting. The circulating air is conducive to the smooth drying of the flowers, do not hang too high.
