With proper care your dried flowers will last a long time. 

Follow these helpful tips to get the most out of your dried floral arrangements.

1. Dried flowers are more fragile due to their dried nature, so once you have decided where to place your arrangement in a vase, it is best to keep them in there permanent spot.

2. Keep your flowers in a cool, dry place and out of rooms with moisture, such as a bathroom or kitchen. Make sure it has good access to airflow and particularly important to keep them in a cool spot in the warmer months.

3. Whilst the colours will fade over time, be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight as otherwise your blooms will start to fade much quicker than they should.

4. The biggest mistake people make is thinking dried flowers need water. They don't require any water otherwise the stems will become flimsy and mould will seep in.

5. To keep them dust free, gently use a small feather duster or cloth. Remember dried flowers are more delicate than real ones, so care must be taken.

6. Don't forget your vase. Be sure no moisture has been created inside and keep clean with a cloth.

7. Be sure to keep your dried flowers away from young children and pets. Some dried flowers, like lavender, will shed over time or some flowers will lose their petals or leaves. 

8. Remember to check if your dried floral arrangement contains any poisonous flowers to pets. Even when dried, lavender still contains toxic elements for pets.

Lastly, enjoy your dried flowers.
