Caring for Your Sola Wood Flowers

Your sola wood flower arrangement is designed to bring lasting beauty to your space. With proper care, these handcrafted blooms will maintain their elegance for years to come.

Daily Care

Dusting: Gently dust your arrangement weekly with a soft, dry cloth or feather duster. For intricate details, use a clean, dry paintbrush to reach between petals.

Positioning: Display your arrangement away from direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade over time. Indirect light showcases the natural beauty without damaging the wood.

Environmental Considerations

Humidity: Keep arrangements in areas with normal household humidity (30-50%). Excessive moisture can cause wood to expand and potentially affect the arrangement's structure.

Temperature: Room temperature is ideal. Avoid placing near heating vents, fireplaces, or air conditioning units where temperature fluctuations occur.

Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation around your arrangement to prevent any moisture buildup.

Deep Cleaning

Monthly Maintenance: For deeper cleaning, use a hairdryer on low, cool temperatures, moving the hairdryer back and forth 6"-10" away from flowers and greenery. 

Reshaping: If petals become slightly misshapen, gently reshape them with your fingers. The sola wood is naturally pliable when handled carefully.

Storage Tips

Seasonal Storage: If storing temporarily, wrap gently in tissue paper and place in a breathable container. Avoid plastic bags which can trap moisture.

Moving: When relocating your arrangement, support the base and handle gently to prevent damage to delicate elements.

Additions: Your arrangement can be enhanced with new elements. We're happy to help you add seasonal touches or expand your display.

Troubleshooting

Loose Petals: If a petal becomes loose, a small dab of craft glue can reattach it securely.

Fading: Some natural fading is normal over many years. This often adds to the vintage charm of the arrangement.

Dust Accumulation: For heavily dusty environments, consider a clear display case to protect your arrangement while still showcasing its beauty.
