Preserved flowers keep their colour and shape for years without a drop of water – but they are preserved, not immortal, and most of the product life that gets thrown away was lost to display conditions, not to age. This guide covers the three KaiVoy formats and the care rules each one needs.
The three formats and their numbers
| Format | Key specs | Life | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glass dome arrangement | 12 cm borosilicate dome, solid wood base | 3-5 years | Foam-lined gift box, MOQ 30 sets |
| Wall wreath | 25 cm, metal frame with natural moss | A season or more of display | Protective carton, MOQ 30 pcs |
| Car ornament | Square acrylic frame, pearl chain and ribbon | Around 3 years | Individual gift box, MOQ 50 pcs |
Care rules that actually extend life
- No water, ever. Preservation replaced the plant’s sap with glycerine and dye; water reverses the chemistry and bleeds the colour.
- Keep out of direct sun. UV is the main dye-killer; a piece on a bright windowsill fades in months, the same piece in indirect light lasts its full rated life.
- Humidity is the quiet one: above roughly 70% RH preserved petals take up moisture and go translucent – bathrooms and unventilated cars in summer are the worst addresses.
- Dust with air, not cloth: a cool hairdryer on low or a soft brush; wiping drags petals off the wire armature, especially on the wreath.
Notes for retail and gifting buyers
- The dome format is the shelf-stable one: glass and wood travel well in the foam-lined gift box, and the dome itself shields the flowers – lowest handling damage of the three.
- The car ornament lives in the harshest micro-climate – cabin heat and windshield sun are why its rated life is around three years; hang it off the direct glass line and it meets the figure.
- Seasonal demand (Valentine’s, Mother’s Day, weddings) drives the ornament and dome lines; the full range sits under cultural heritage.
FAQ
Do preserved flowers need any maintenance at all?
Only the dusting above. No water, no misting, no pruning – the arrangement is finished and stable as shipped.
Why does the wreath use real moss?
Preserved moss carries the woodland look fresh flowers cannot hold without water, and it asks for the same care: no sun, no moisture, occasional air dusting.
