Flower Preservation Care Instructions

Proper care helps your preserved flowers stay beautiful for as long as possible. Whether you ordered a resin piece or framed floral artwork, the most important thing is to protect it from direct sunlight, excess heat, and moisture. Preserved flowers are delicate by nature, and even professionally preserved pieces should be handled with care to help maintain their color and appearance over time.

At Florals Memories, we create custom flower preservation keepsakes designed to last, but long-term condition also depends on how they are displayed and cared for in your home. A few simple care steps can make a big difference in keeping your bouquet preservation piece looking its best.

Care Instructions for Resin Artworks

Resin flower preservation pieces should be kept away from direct sunlight and strong light from windows. Prolonged UV exposure can cause resin to yellow over time and may also affect the appearance of preserved flowers inside the piece.

To protect your resin artworks:

Avoid direct sunlight and bright window light
Do not place hot items on the surface
Do not put resin pieces in the dishwasher, microwave, or oven
Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth
Avoid harsh cleaning products or abrasive materials
Treat resin keepsakes as art rather than heavy-use household items

Gentle handling and proper placement will help resin pieces stay in better condition for years to come.

Care Instructions for Framed Artworks

Framed flower preservation pieces should also be kept away from direct sunlight, humidity, and moisture. Excess light can gradually affect flower color, while moisture can damage the preserved flowers and the frame over time.

To help framed artworks last longer:

  • Avoid direct sunlight
  • Keep away from damp areas
  • Do not hang in humid rooms
  • Handle gently when moving or cleaning

A dry indoor space with stable temperature and indirect light is usually the best place to display framed flower preservation pieces.

Best Place to Display Preserved Flowers

The best place to display preserved flowers is indoors, away from direct sun, moisture, and high heat. A bedroom, hallway, living room, or other climate-controlled space is usually ideal. Try to avoid placing preserved flower artwork near bright windows, bathrooms, kitchens with high heat, or areas with strong temperature changes.

If you want your preserved flowers to keep their appearance as long as possible, display conditions matter just as much as preservation quality.

Why Proper Care Matters

All preserved flowers naturally change over time to some degree. Whites may warm, some colors may deepen, and resin may gradually age if exposed to too much UV light or heat. Proper care helps slow those changes and protects your keepsake so it stays beautiful longer.

Taking a few simple precautions is one of the best ways to protect the flowers and artwork you invested in.
