YOU JUST CAN’T KILL A “PRESERVED PLANT”! HERE’S WHY

The growing trend for real plants and flowers — technically dead but unmistakably lush — that need zero care and zero water.

Real flowers eventually wilt, smell and die! Dried flowers inevitably become brown as they lose all their liquid. When preserving flowers and plants, however, their natural sap is essentially replaced with a conservation liquid (in our case plant-based), so as to keep their appearance and also scent — at least to an extent. Since they are now as dead as can be or “mummified”, as we like to say, you just can’t kill them. Through this meticulous preservation process the preserved plants not only lose their need to be watered, they also build a somewhat anti-static shield around them such that they barely dust up (unlike real, dried and also artificial plants). So apart from the occasional dusting, there is absolutely nothing you need to do to these plants to keep them alive.
