What changes over time
Light can fade colour, humidity can soften or damage dried material, and frequent handling can cause shedding or breakage. Some grasses and seed heads remain sturdy while delicate petals show change sooner.
How to help an arrangement last
- Keep it indoors and completely dry.
- Choose a place away from strong direct sun.
- Avoid bathrooms, steam and humidifiers.
- Move the vase or tied stem bundle instead of gripping the flower heads.
- Remove dust gently with a soft brush or low, cool air from a safe distance.
When to replace it
Replace or edit the arrangement when fading, shedding or damage no longer suits the room—or immediately if you see moisture or mould. A few well-kept stems can also be reused in a smaller vase.
