How to Preserve Fresh Chrysanthemum Bouquets

Fresh Chrysanthemums can last up to two weeks with proper care. Follow these expert tips to extend their lifespan:

1. Trim the Stems Properly

• Use sharp scissors or a floral knife to cut stems at a 45-degree angle.

• Remove any leaves that may sit below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.

2. Use Clean Water & Flower Food

• Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water and add floral preservative.

• Change the water every 2-3 days to keep it fresh.

3. Keep in a Cool, Bright Location

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause wilting.

• Keep away from heat sources like radiators or electronics.

4. Mist the Petals Lightly

• Chrysanthemums thrive in humidity—lightly misting them can help maintain freshness.

How to Dry Chrysanthemums for Long-Lasting Beauty

Drying Chrysanthemums allows you to enjoy their beauty for months or even years. Here are the best methods:

1. Air Drying (Hanging Method)

• Step 1: Tie small bunches of Chrysanthemums together with a rubber band.

• Step 2: Hang them upside down in a dark, dry, and well-ventilated area.

• Step 3: Wait 2-3 weeks until fully dried.

2. Silica Gel Drying (Best for Color Retention)

• Step 1: Fill an airtight container with silica gel crystals.

• Step 2: Bury the Chrysanthemum blooms gently in the gel.

• Step 3: Seal the container and wait 5-7 days for optimal drying.

3. Pressing Chrysanthemums (For Crafts & Decor)

• Place blooms between parchment paper inside a heavy book.

• Leave for 2-4 weeks until fully pressed.

Dried Chrysanthemums make stunning home décor, wedding keepsakes, and DIY crafts.
