Gypsophilia

Preserved gypsophila

Preserved gypsophila, i.e. flowers stopped in time by stabilization is a great material for creating dried flower bouquets, head garlands (especially communion and wedding garlands), wedding arrangements, invitations, greeting cards. The flowers are extremely durable, they do not droop, so we can use it in the creation of handicrafts without fear. 

The difference between dried and preserved gypsophila

We can dry gypsophila using the classic herbal method, that is, hanging it with the inflorescence down for about 10 days in a warm, airy, shady room In the case of the herbal method, gypsophila stems are stiff, flowers fall off, and it is easy to break the plant. It is best to use it for bouquets of dried flowers, because when making crafts with dried gypsophila, there is a high probability that the plant will break. We can also stabilize gypsophila - the natural juices of the plant are replaced by a glycerine-based solution, the flower stems are placed in a container with a previously prepared solution for about 14 days. Stabilized gypsophila retains its intense color. In addition, its stems become flexible, we can easily prepare garlands, reeds and other decorations without much risk of breakage.
