How To Use A Microwave To Dry Sunflowers?

Sunflowers are vibrant flowers that add a burst of color to any room. To dry them, you can use the microwave method, which evaporates moisture within the petals and leaves. This process is the quickest and easiest way to preserve the color of your flowers.

To dry sunflowers, remove all foliage from the stems and clean off any dirt or debris on the petals by gently wiping them with a paper towel. Arrange the petals in a single layer on two sheets of paper towels, then place another two sheets of clean paper towels on top of the petals. Microwave the petals on high power for 20 to 40 seconds or until the petals completely dry out.

To press the flower sandwich into the microwave, use a heavy, flat-surface item to press onto the flowers during warming. Snip the flower as close to the bud as possible and place the flower between paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Set the microwave on high power for 20-40-second intervals. By adhering to these detailed steps, you’ll ensure the successful preservation of your flowers.

To dry your flowers without shrivelling, microwave them with a dish of desiccant (such as silica gel or cat litter). The microwave will dry your flowers in just two minutes.
