Pressing carnations takes about two to three weeks, depending on the type of flower and humidity. Hanging the stems in a cool, dark space is recommended, as they take about two to three weeks to dry completely. You can also dry carnation flowers by placing them in silica gel and microwaving. Allow the flower to sit for approximately three weeks to get properly pressed.
There are three basic types of carnations available to home growers: large-flowered carnations, dwarf-flowered carnations, and spray or miniature carnations. Carnations typically take about two to four weeks to dry completely in a press, depending on the humidity and temperature of your environment. Perennial carnations and dianthus varieties usually dry within a week or two in a flower press, while the long-stemmed traditional florist carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) can take three weeks or more due to its longer drying time.
Carnations can grow in the ground or in containers, blooming in about four to six weeks, depending on the variety chosen. Choose a full sun or light shade spot with free draining soil or grow carnations in pots. Place the second piece of paper on top of the carnation and shut the book, then place the second book on top with the carnation in it. Let the flower sit for approximately three weeks to get properly pressed.
Pressing flowers with a book or a press takes three to four weeks, but an iron can cut the pressing time down to minutes. Carnations are loved on petals, and it usually takes 1-2 weeks for flowers to press fully.
