Since time immemorial and man looking for the beauty in nature and the environment around us and did not put a flower or a rose brought him a special remembrance was written between pages or papers! And dried flowers, despite equal rights to know it did not take place as a means of ornamentation and the search for beauty has only a short time ago began to make the scope of the business dried flowers and foliage can be used in the work of Holiday distinct striking inside the buildings, offices, homes, and to the drying process is costly economically, it is one of the hobbies that makes people happy, and can also be profitable and to make the process of drying flowers and leaves gathered plant at any time during the growing season with Note Collecting more than the amount required for the possibility of damage to each other.
Are advised to always observe the following when testing the plant material to be dried:
• selection of flowers and leaves of plant sound (free of insect and disease).
• to collect flowers very close to the date of maturity (not collected in the case of full open, and leaves it to the pressure when drying).
• The collection of flowers, a dry (not wet from dew or rain).
• dried plant material collected on the same day (if that can not be rules of plant material in the jar of water to prevent Zbolha).
• Do not collect plants fleshy and leafy and petals thin as can be collected plant material other than flowers, leaves and take advantage of them in the drying process and coordination, Kalosmar and some Alfreat small, grass and shrubs, etc., can also be used wheat spikes and branches of plant fruit-bearing, which remain attached to Balofra not waived , tulip and Alldornta and pine and others.
There are several ways that can be used in the drying of plant material, will recall some of the following:
Drying Antenna:
Is one of the simplest ways of drying and easy, which only needs a dry place is damp renewed ventilation and not exposed to direct sunlight, and drying flowers in this manner still leaves from the stem, and developed market in small packages, and links from the end of a wire or Ocetk in an upright position and upside down.
Drying by pressing:
Used this method of drying flowers, petals and leaves that are composed of tissue thin, to Atanasb plant material adenoids, or flowers, which had a large number of petals and sometimes may be necessary when using this method, resellers flower, pressed petals separate and line up the drying process is drying pressure as follows:
In the case of flowers is placed between two layers of leaves a clean non-glossy absorbent and porous (valid papers newspapers, magazines and old books for it) with the installation of legs on the bottom layer of paper tape, to give curves required, and then put a layer leaves the surface to be put in the weight over the stock after week is the transfer of flowers and put them between the new leaves, and put great weight above it in the place warm and dry.
The use of dried material:
Could use some materials characterized by their capacity to absorb moisture and can be purchased from stores chemicals, and I represent the sand: It is preferable to use sand silver, if available, either at the normal use is a sort of rule relatively heavy, the slowest drying agent that can be used, and must be a clean, dry and finely .
Borax:
When used for drying utensils must be left uncovered, it is used mixed with sand ratio of 1:1, or with corn flour by 6:1, and believes that the addition of 3 large spoons of non-ionized sodium chloride (salt) per 10 cm 3 of the mixture to make petals retain the colors.
Alcelikagel:
Is the substance has the ability to absorb moisture from the middle of the ocean, and is used for drying flowers and plants in the homes of the most appropriate methods of dehydration, despite an increase Tkleviha compared with powders used, but with the advantage that it can be used several times for several years, which is placed with the plant material in the utensils sealed during drying, and will strengthen the market before drying flowers, wire and crystals Alcelikagel be dry when the net for the blue shift gradually to pink when you start to absorb moisture from the flowers. When you need to use crystals Alcelikagel again are placed in trays exposed thickness of 0.5 to 2 cm, and is dried in kilns at a temperature of 250 F. with stirring during drying so that the crystals blue, and protect the containers sealed until used again.
There are certain precautions to be taken into account when using a powder prior to drying flowers and plant material:
• When using sand or borax is used for drying utensils open, while using utensils when using Alcelikagel Court.
• The development of a fraction of the powder used in the dish, then placed the flowers upside down, and sprinkle the powder over the flower slowly until it is completely covered the flower-shaped Naqosj are filled powder dried before being placed in the vessel to help maintain its shape.
• continue to powder after drying carefully fully from the plant material after 70-10 days in case of using borax, and after 1-4 days in case of Alcelikagel।
Glycerin:
Glycerol can be used mixed with boiling water by 1:2 and leave the mixture to cool in the leaf drying vegetation and some seed and some varieties of flowers
As follows:
Put the mixture in a glass container and placed the legs fitted, so as to be submerged below the level of the mixture of lower level vegetation to absorb the amount of glycerol, since the strength of the plant, skin, and as soon as plants are drying out from the mixture with a soft cloth.
Drying using Almikwoev:
Can accelerate the drying process the development of plant material between the layers of leaves, and put the weight above to increase the pressure, and place it in a microwave oven on high temperature for two minutes, then remove them where they can use after two hours of drying, and now after the drying process will find that the flowers and leaves plant had become fragile, and need to much attention, when used in the coordination of the various forms required, and to protect them from dust and absorb moisture from the atmosphere again, it can be sprayed material coating a transparent colorless, it can also paint the parts that bear Bafilot, and can also submerge the flowers quickly in liquid waxy transparent, then put the list in the paper, butter, and use the paint brush cloth to remove dust which attach plants dried can also be suspended securities dried up steam boiling water for a few moments, to prolong the duration of the conservation and re-dyeing plants, which deteriorated colors, and then left to dry again after the end of the drying process When you need to store dried plants are placed in cardboard boxes and plastic bags in the list of conditions away from heat and humidity, in order to be stored for long periods up to several years ago, taking into account the future use the utmost care.
