Q: What are "Preserved Flowers" mentioned in the flower materials? A: Preserved flowers are real flowers treated with a special process that maintains their color, elasticity, and texture, keeping them in full bloom for over two years. Preserved flowers do not require water or sunlight; please avoid humidity and prolonged strong light exposure. Q: What are "Realistic Flowers" mentioned in the flower materials? A: Realistic flowers are artificial flowers that recreate the lifelike quality and beauty of fresh blooms. They offer artistic and durability advantages unattainable by fresh flowers and are widely used for decoration in public spaces in Japan. Although artificial flowers have various names like realistic flowers, silk flowers, or fake flowers, they are essentially the same. In recent years, the terminology has become more unified, with high-quality artificial flowers being referred to as Artificial Flowers or Realistic Flowers. The manufacturing of realistic flowers and their petal materials primarily consist of Polyester, while stems and fruits are made of resin. They can maintain their aesthetic appeal for approximately 2 years under normal environmental conditions.
