When it comes to decorating homes, offices, or commercial spaces, preserved plants have become an increasingly popular choice. But what exactly are preserved plants, and why are they in such high demand? In this article, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about preserved plants—what they are, how they’re made, how to care for them, and how to use them effectively in decor.

What Are Preserved Plants?
Preserved plants are 100% real plants that have undergone a preservation process to maintain their beauty and texture without requiring water or sunlight. Unlike artificial plants, which are made from plastic or silk, preserved plants retain their natural look and feel while being maintenance-free. With proper care, they can last for months or even years without losing their charm.
What Is the Preservation Process of a Plant?
The preservation process begins by selecting fresh plants at their peak beauty. These plants are then treated with a biodegradable, non-toxic preservation liquid made of glycerin, water, and stabilizers. This liquid gradually replaces the plant’s natural sap, allowing it to retain its flexibility, softness, and vibrant color. After soaking in the solution, the plants are left to dry in controlled environments before undergoing a thorough quality inspection.
This eco-friendly process ensures that the plants remain soft and natural-looking without the need for watering, pruning, or exposure to sunlight.
How to Take Care of Preserved Plants?
One of the biggest advantages of preserved plants is their low maintenance. However, to keep them looking fresh for as long as possible, follow these simple care tips:
Avoid Water: Do not water preserved plants or place them in humid environments.
Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading.
Handle with Care: Avoid crushing or pressing the leaves and petals.
Dust Occasionally: Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to remove dust buildup.
Types of Preserved Plants
Preserved plants come in various forms, each offering unique decorative benefits. The two most popular types are preserved moss and preserved greens.
Preserved Moss
Moss is a favorite among decorators due to its soft texture and lush appearance. Common types include:
Reindeer Moss (Lichen): Often used for wall art and centerpieces.
Flat Moss: Perfect for green walls and vertical gardens.
Pole Moss: Offers a rounded, cushion-like texture, ideal for intricate designs.
Preserved Greens
These include a wide range of leaves and branches used for floral arrangements and decor. Popular preserved greens include:
Eucalyptus: Known for its fresh scent and stylish look.
Ivy: Adds a natural, flowing aesthetic to spaces.
Palm Fronds: Ideal for tropical and boho-style interiors.
Fern: Works beautifully in rustic and earthy-themed designs.
How to Use Preserved Plants in Decoration?
Preserved plants can enhance any space by bringing in a touch of nature without the hassle of maintenance. Here are some creative ways to incorporate them into decor:
Green Walls & Vertical Gardens: Ideal for corporate offices, lobbies, and residential spaces.
Table Centerpieces: A preserved moss arrangement or eucalyptus branches in a vase can make an elegant focal point.
Retail & Restaurant Interiors: Many businesses use preserved plants to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Wedding & Event Decor: From bouquets to backdrop installations, preserved plants make stunning event decor pieces.
Plant Logistics and Transportation
