Frequently asked questions about Infinity flowers
How long does Infinity flowers last?
The shelf life of VERMEILLE flowers depends on the environmental conditions. If these are ideal, the flowers will last for many years. Ideal conditions are:
- consistent temperature between 12 ° and 32 ° C,
- consistent relative humidity around 65% and
- regular light without high-energy UV radiation.
Are Infinity flowers "full of chemistry?"
VERMEILLE flowers are an artificial product based on high-quality noble roses and noble carnations, that is, a natural vegetable raw material. After preservation, they contain chemical products that are also common in other products of daily use, such as cosmetics (glycerin), household products (alcohol) and food (pigments)
Are Infinity flowers edible?
Infinity flowers are not edible and should not be processed with food.
Are Infinity flowers freeze-dried?
VERMEILLE flowers are not preserved by low temperatures. Attempts to apply the freeze-drying (instant coffee) technique commonly used in food processing to fresh flowers have failed. Although this technique can preserve flowers for short periods of time, they disintegrate after a few months because the cell structure of the flowers is destroyed. The same is true for the terms "flash frozen" and "iced". In the process by which VERMEILLE flowers are preserved, the cell structure of the natural flowers is completely preserved.
What makes Infinity flowers different from similar products?
VERMEILLE flowers come from colored roses and carnations, which undergo a complex alcohol-based bleaching process, after which the flower is pure white. Due to this perfect basic white, the flowers after the subsequent preservation and coloring show a particularly high luminosity.
Through the glycerin-based preservation, the petals remain delicate and soft. When looking at and even touching them, they are confusingly similar to fresh flowers. This makes their magic.
In conventional products, the petals are much harder and therefore break more quickly. Due to the insensitivity to touch, the processing florist(s) have much less breakage and transport damage. This significantly reduces the manufacturing costs of workpieces and increases their durability.
How can Infinity flowers be processed?
Infinity flowers are preferably wired on before they are inserted into cut foam or tied into bouquets. This can be done by passing the wire through the stem or even the base of the flower.
The blossoms can also be cold or hot glued without being wired on. However, most glues do not bond with the surface of the flower and the stem.
When processed with hot glue, the flower briefly sweats out glycerin and water, which affects the adhesive bond. Therefore, it is recommended to briefly rotate the flower in the still hot glue, so that the adhesive mass can "hook" in the structure of the flower base, resulting in a mechanical connection. Well glued flowers also hold "upside down" reliably.
The connection of wire and glue is particularly reliable.
Can Infinity flowers rub off?
The preservative in VERMEILLE flowers remains permanently liquid. The flower "lives" by accepting and releasing moisture from the surrounding air, and a small amount of pigment may be released from the stems or leaves. Therefore, where the flowers are processed in contact with absorbent supports (such as fabrics or decorative sand), they should be sealed with rubber tape, hot glue or wax.
Can Infinity flowers be stored at high humidity levels?
When the relative humidity exceeds 75%, glassy spots may form in the flowers. However, these disappear by themselves when the humidity decreases again. For decorations in bathrooms or humid rooms, the flowers should not be used.
Can Infinity flowers be exposed to direct sunlight?
.
If VERMEILLE flowers are permanently exposed to direct sunlight, they may fade. Some color pigments change very little due to UV radiation, while others change relatively quickly.
Can Infinity flowers tolerate warm locations?
Permanently warm locations are not problematic. Locations near heaters or other sources of heat, which are entirely unsuitable for plants and fresh flowers, can be advantageously decorated with work pieces made of VERMEILLE flowers.
How to clean Infinity flowers from dust?
Infinitry flowers are not electrostatically charged and do not attract dust from the surrounding air. If necessary, the flowers can be cleaned with a soft brush or gentle compressed air.
With which other products can Infinity flowers be processed?
Infinity flowers can be processed with fresh flowers and greenery, dried flowers and greenery, as well as many other materials.
For workpieces made for doctors' offices or other environments with high hygiene requirements, only other high-quality durable products should be used.
Here hydrangeas, mosses and greenery from VERDISSIMO are suitable. These have a comparable shelf life as VERMEILLE flowers and largely exclude pest infestation through preservation.
