Friends, have you ever received an everlasting flower (also known as eco-friendly flower)? This thing can be divine, as if from the moment it appears, with a mysterious aura, hosting our desire for a beautiful and eternal. Whether it’s a couple’s confession, or a wedding scene, you can see its figure, as if it breaks the fate of flowers will soon fade. But let’s think carefully, this eternal flower, can it really like its name, has not withered? Today, let’s talk about those things about the eternal flower.
The birth of eternal flowers: the fusion of technology and romance
Aeonium is not something that grows directly out of the ground, it is a masterpiece of human wisdom and craftsmanship. It is a masterpiece of human ingenuity and craftsmanship. The production process is quite delicate, usually choose good quality flowers, such as roses, carnations are the easiest two varieties to make eternal flowers.
The first step is to remove the water and natural coloring from the flowers, which is dehydration and decoloration. Next, a vacuum technique is used to soak the flowers in a special solution that slowly fills the cells of the flowers, taking up the ground that the original water took up. When the flowers are full of solution, and then after dyeing, drying these steps, a brightly colored, ultra-realistic eternal flowers are born. This complex set of operations gives new life to the flowers and allows them to stay with us longer.
Theoretical “immortality”
Theoretically speaking, if the environment in which the flower is kept is ideal, it can be kept for a long time. Some vendors say that flowers can last for years or even decades, and this is not a lie. In that kind of completely sealed, and dry, the temperature and humidity has been the same place, there is no oxygen, moisture and microbial trouble, the eternal flowers can always keep the original appearance, the color will not change, and the shape will not be out of shape.
There is a research institution has done experiments, the elaborate eternal flowers in the special simulation of the ideal environment of the experimental box, observation for many years, and found that the eternal flowers are still and just made when the same beauty, almost no change. This suggests that under perfect conditions, it is truly possible for an everlasting flower to approach “immortality.”
The Challenges of Preservation in Reality
But friends, we all know that the reality is not even close to the ideal. In our homes, there are so many factors that affect how long eternal flowers will last.
First of all, humidity, the moisture in the air, is simply “enemy number one” for aeoniums. If the air is too humid, the flowers will easily absorb water, the petals will become soft, and in serious cases, they will mold and rot. Especially in the rainy season in the south, the humidity of the air, so that permanent flowers can be preserved difficult.
The light should not be underestimated either. If they are exposed to strong sunlight all the time, their color will slowly fade and become less beautiful. In addition, if you touch it accidentally or if dust falls on it, it can be damaged. If you touch it lightly, the petals may fall off, and if there is a lot of dust, it will look dirty, which affects the beauty of the flower.
Practical ways to prolong the life of aeonium
Although there are many difficulties in reality, there are ways to let the aeonium stay with us for a while longer. When storing them, find a dry, well-ventilated place where they can’t be exposed to direct sunlight. You can put them in a display case with a glass door to protect them from dust, light and air. If you don’t have a display case, you can cover the flowers with an acrylic cover.
When taking care of it, don’t touch it casually, and if there is dust, don’t wipe it with a wet cloth, but use the cold air of a hair dryer to blow it a little farther away, or take a clean soft-bristle brush to gently sweep the dust off. Every once in a while, you should also check the status of the eternal flowers, if you find that there are individual petals discolored or out of place, quickly deal with the bad petals carefully cut off, so as not to affect the overall effect.
The emotion of the eternal flower “eternal life”
Although the eternal flower in the actual preservation is difficult to achieve the real “eternal life”, but it carries the emotion behind it is always there. When we receive a bouquet of eternal flowers, it is not just a bunch of beautiful flowers, but full of sincerity and affection. Each everlasting flower hides the deep feelings of the person who sent it, and this feeling will not change even after a long time. Maybe after many years, the petals of the everlasting flower are not so delicate, but the love, friendship and affection it represents is still as warm as it was at the beginning. In this way, eternal flowers use their own unique way to make emotions “eternal”, and become a symbol of good memories in our hearts.
Friends, although there is no way to keep the eternal flowers forever in reality, but it relies on the special production process and romantic symbolism, leaving a deep trace in our lives. Understanding the preservation time of eternal flowers and those influencing factors, we will be able to take better care of it, so that it carries the emotion, in the years of beauty.
