Advantages and Benefits of Preserved Plants and Flowers

Preserved plants, trees, and flowers offer an ideal solution for both professional and domestic environments. These decorative elements, which require no regular maintenance, provide high-quality greenery year-round, perfect for indoor spaces.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Zero Maintenance: Preserved plants do not require water, sunlight, soil, or fertilizer. This makes them especially suitable for environments where caring for live plants might be difficult or costly.

• Acoustic Improvement: Due to their natural structure, preserved plants help dampen and reduce noise, thereby enhancing the quality of the environment. This effect is particularly beneficial in offices or public spaces where noise control is crucial. All our products have undergone acoustic testing to verify their efficiency, and the results are available to our clients.

• No Growth: Preserved plants retain their volume and appearance over time without growing or changing shape. This allows for the design and maintenance of indoor green spaces with vegetation that would otherwise be suitable only for outdoors, without concerns about upkeep or space.

The Preservation Process: How Preserved Plants Are Made

In the stabilization chambers, the plants are immersed in large vats containing a solution of glycerin, water, and food-grade colorants. This process, which lasts several days, allows the sap to evaporate and be replaced by the stabilizing solution. Afterward, the plants are rinsed and hung in a drying room to complete the process.

Preserved Plants and Flowers: Sustainability and Low Environmental Impact

• Low Energy Consumption: Since they do not require water or light, preserved flowers lower energy needs compared to live plants. Additionally, their transportation and maintenance demand fewer resources, contributing to a reduction in environmental impact.
• Sustainability: The entire production process of preserved flowers is designed to be as eco-friendly as possible, ensuring that their long lifespan does not come at the expense of sustainability. By using fewer resources and generating less waste, these flowers represent a green choice for those looking to decorate spaces without compromising the environment.

How to Clean and Maintain Preserved Plants

Preserved plants offer the ideal solution for green decorations that require no constant care. To ensure they maintain their appearance and longevity, it's important to follow some simple guidelines. This guide provides practical tips for cleaning and maintaining your preserved plants, ensuring they always look beautiful. Explore our suggestions and learn how to best preserve your green decorations.

1.    Avoid Direct Sunlight: Preserved plants should be kept away from direct sunlight and intense light sources such as halogen spotlights, which can cause fading and damage over time.

2.    Keep Away from Heat Sources: Preserved plants should be placed away from direct heat sources, such as heaters and radiators. Exposure to high temperatures can damage the plants, compromising their appearance and longevity.

3.    Maintain a Dry Environment: Preserved plants should be kept in an environment with a humidity level between 50% and 65%. Prolonged exposure to humidity can cause colored droplets to form on the plant's surface, which should be cleaned immediately to prevent mold and damage.

4.    Do Not Water or Irrigate: Preserved plants are designed to maintain their appearance without the need for watering. The preservation process keeps the plants fresh without requiring water. Therefore, it's crucial to avoid watering or irrigating these plants.

5.    Protect from Insects: All our materials are constantly monitored and stored in protected environments. However, since preserved materials are biological, they can still attract small insects present in our surroundings. If you notice insects, we recommend using a pyrethrum-based insecticide spray. To apply it correctly, spray the insecticide from a distance of about 50 cm from the plants. This product, non-toxic to living beings, helps keep the plants free from infestations without compromising their quality.

6.    Cleaning and Maintenance: Although preserved materials do not attract dust, it is advisable to clean them occasionally to keep them in excellent condition. Use a gentle stream of cold air or a soft brush to remove any dust particles.

7.    Avoid Toxic Substances: Keep plants away from chemicals such as hairsprays, cleaners, and perfumes, which could negatively affect their appearance and quality.
