What are preserved plants?
Preserved plants are 100% natural plants that have gone through a preservation process to maintain their beauty and freshness without the need for water or light.
They are very resistant and lasting plants, that with the appropriate care can maintain their beauty for months or years without the need of being pruned or watered.
What is the preservation process of a plant?
How to preserve plants? This is a question many ask themselves. It’s not an easy process! The plant preservation method we use in Verdissimo is our own process which consists of cutting the plants in their maximum beauty splendor, once they are cut they are introduced in containers filled with a liquid composed of glycerin, water, and stabilizers (a preservation liquid produced by us). During the liquid absorption process, the sap evaporates and is replaced by this liquid. At the end of the stabilization process, the plants are left to dry in special chambers for several days.
Once the necessary days have passed, we proceed to make a cleaning check to eliminate any sign of dry or damaged leaves. Quality control during the preservation process is very thorough to guarantee the maximum beauty of our products.

Nevertheless, to use them correctly it´s necessary to choose those that best fit the decoration style of the space to maintain coherence and harmony and select the ones that are more adequate for the space, taking into consideration size and what it´s done with it.
