Dried flowers and eucalyptus: do they go together and where to buy?
Do eucalyptus and dried flowers go well together?
Yes, definitely! We think that preserved eucalyptus goes wonderfully with dried flowers. We'll show you which combinations look best.
But how long does eucalyptus last and where are the best eucalyptus branches?
Eucalyptus lasts for several years in its preserved form with appropriate care. You will enjoy your dried flowers for a long time if you treat them with love and care. The biggest advantage of dried flowers is that they do not require water. That's why they last longer than cut flowers. We have tested: Humidity around 50-60% does not affect dried flowers and therefore eucalyptus. Bedrooms and living rooms usually have a humidity of around 40%, kitchens and bathrooms can also be higher at up to 60-70% due to cooking water/shower water. Another tip to have fun with your dried flowers for a long time: you shouldn't touch them too much, as every touch transfers the body's own fat and moisture. If some dust has accumulated on the leaves, simply dust it off with a brush. For example, you can use a school painting brush/painting brush (for watercolors); These brushes are available in packs of ten on Amazon starting at just 3 euros, or at your decorative corner shop around the corner for one euro.
Back to the question of where to find the best eucalyptus branches.
We would say that we sell the best eucalyptus (in a subjective comparison of online retailers). Buy dried flowers : at Lykke&You. Why? We source our dried flowers directly from the fields in Italy. The advantage: short transport routes, fair prices. There are eucalyptus branches from the European surroundings such as: B. Italy and Portugal. There they are dried, packaged and brought to us. So the flowers don't travel for long. This is the difference to products from Asia or China. These flowers and branches often smell a bit strong.
We only offer high-quality flowers for purchase. For us, quality means e.g. B. also that products should not smell nasty. Eucalyptus in particular is said to smell good! When dried and preserved, it is said to last a long time and bring joy. But please make up your own mind.

Aren't you a Strauss fan? How about a dried flower wreath made from eucalyptus?
Many customers also buy their eucalyptus branches from us and then process them into a wreath. The wreaths are the absolute decorative highlight for your front door or wall in the living room. However, be careful when searching for “location”: you should think about where you want to hang or place the door wreath with dried flowers. It is best to only attach it if the area is covered, as the moisture (rain) will not be good for the wreath in the long term.
How long does dried eucalyptus last?
Preserved eucalyptus will last up to two years as long as it doesn't get wet. Accordingly, the “place of residence” of the eucalyptus should be chosen carefully. In a bathroom, a bouquet or door wreath will not last as long as in a living room. Background: the humidity is higher in the bathroom, we have already explained more about this above. In general, dried flowers are preserved using a tincture of glycerin. Glycerin sounds chemical and scary? Don't worry, the substances used are safe and non-toxic. You shouldn't eat flowers either way. At this point, a note: you should not eat dried flowers.
By preserving the individual branches, they last particularly long. It is important to note that preservation can increase the smell. However, our customers comment that this is not a problem.
Where do you get dried flowers?
The standard flowers or “normal” dried flowers are now often available in the city; However, the selection of eucalyptus online (on the Internet) is much larger. Buying eucalyptus is very easy with us: take a look at the different options in the dried flower search (as of 2021: over 40 products on offer).
You can get dried flowers online and offline, i.e. in the city. Dried flowers are now available in many shops in the city center, but the selection is usually smaller than online. The quality of the dried flowers is also poorer because the flowers are moved and touched more. Purchasing there usually takes place in large quantities and with long supply chains abroad. An alternative to buying in the city are small specialists on the Internet. For example, we are a dried flower expert who selectively buys and processes the best flowers from Europe with love and handcraft.
Our focus is on service, individual support, custom-made products if you are interested, and a fair price with top quality. As always: with love from Mainz to your home.
