Keep them in a warm, dry and somewhat airy spot. A kitchen or bathroom is not a good spot, as these rooms get very humid, and dried flower stems can wilt or go mouldy if they get damp.

Dried flowers fade naturally over time, but they will keep their colour longer if you can avoid placing them in direct sunlight.

Choose a position where they won’t be brushed past, knocked, or arouse the curiosity of little people or pets; they are light and fragile.

If they get dusty you can blow the dust off gently with a hair drier on the lowest setting.
