Manufacturing process

1. Harvesting of materials from the field one or two days after irrigation on a dry, sunny day
2. Moisture retention management and control to ensure rigidity and uniform cell contraction
3. Drying the flowers and plant parts using air, sun, water, or press methods under controlled temperature and humidity
4. Embedding flowers in silica gel, borax, or white sand to eliminate petal shrinking
5. Applying preservative techniques such as bleaching and sulphuring to maintain natural color or add dyes
6. Packaging the finished dried flowers to ensure standard quality for customers
