(1) Natural air-drying method: This is the simplest and most commonly used method for making dried flowers. First, you need to choose a warm, dry, and well-ventilated environment, and then tie the fresh flowers into a bundle and place them there. The drying time varies with the type of flowers, air humidity, and temperature, usually only a few days are needed to dry. To keep the flowers looking beautiful, they must be hung in a suspended place, remember not to lean against the wall. Roses hung against the wall to air-dry lack a sense of depth. When you feel the flowers are as brittle as paper, you are done.
(2) Desiccant dehydration method: Use desiccant powder to treat the picked roses, then bury them and wait for them to dehydrate. After 10-20 days, take them out and use a brush to remove the desiccant powder from the petals.
(3) Microwave drying: The characteristic of microwave drying is short drying time and no need for other media. The drying time depends on the type of microwave oven and the number of flowers. Some berries are prone to breakage in the microwave, so they must be air-dried in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place for at least one week first. You can also wrap the fresh flowers in A4 paper or an envelope, tie them tightly, and put them in a microwave oven, which only requires 25 seconds of microwaving.
