How to make dried eucalyptus leaves

1. Use the hanging air drying method

Air drying is the simplest and most economical method for making dried eucalyptus flowers. Many people use it. The specific operation method is as follows:

First, you need to choose a warm and windy environment, and it must be dry. At this time, you can place the fresh eucalyptus leaves upside down in this environment.

The air-drying time depends on the moisture in the eucalyptus leaves and the humidity of the surrounding air. Generally, it can be done in a very short few days.

After a few days, touch the leaves with your hand. If the leaves feel crisp, they are ready.

2. Use microwave oven for drying

If you have a microwave at home, you can also use it to make dried eucalyptus leaves, but you must ensure that the space is large enough to accommodate the eucalyptus leaves.

The biggest feature of microwave drying is that its production process is relatively fast because it does not rely on the surrounding environment. The preparation time depends on the microwave oven itself and the number of eucalyptus leaves. Generally, you need to wrap the leaves in paper or envelopes and put them in the microwave. Twenty-five seconds of microwave time will be enough.

3. Notes

Before making this dried flower, you need to select the leaves. Generally, you should choose leaves with a good-looking shape, without curled edges, and without signs of erosion by pests and diseases.

Then in the production process, the air-drying method should not be rushed. It is necessary to wait until the leaves are dried to a very crisp texture before taking them down. Otherwise, the leaves will easily deteriorate and look ugly in the future because they still contain moisture.

You can try the microwave method several times. Twenty-five seconds is an average. It depends on the size of your microwave oven. If the time is too long, the shape may not look good.

The method is very simple. If you master the key elements, you can make beautiful dried eucalyptus leaves. Take action now to make your home more fresh.
