Join us for a tour of our flower drying room at 1818 Farms. We will share our drying process as well as tips and tools that we use to maximize our space.
Thank you for great instruction. 1st year flower farmer and was thinking about drying so less flowers go to waste. Thank you for sharing your family farm Carl -central Texas zone 8b
I can’t wait to see my flowers grow. Watching your videos gets me excited for the summer here in California. Whatever flowers I don’t sell I’ll be drying. Love the video
Thank you for this helpful video! I learned so much. I was wondering what kinds of bins you use to store the flowers once they are dried. Where do you store them? Thank you again!
So happy that you enjoyed the video. At the very beginning, you will see a black bin on the floor on my right. It has a yellow lid. I purchase these at Costco. They also have them at HomeDepot. I prefer these to cardboard boxes to ensure that rodents don’t get to dried stems during storage. You just want to ensure that stems are totally dry before storing.

The key is drying them when they are at peak. Not too old. You also want to dry them in a dark location and display them out of direct sunlight.
@@1818Farms thank you so much! that's awesome tips.
I wrap with rubberbands, and hang in the garage, where it does get hot. But my rubberbands eventually break. Any suggestions on how to avoid this?
You can take them down and store in boxes once they are dry. Rubber bands will eventually break.
Where can I get one of your tool holsters?
If was purchased on Etsy. They maker is Wheeler Monroe. It is custom made to size.
I have had it for several year and it is so worth the investment!
What is the temperature 🌡️ and humidity of this room may jun july
Very hot. We don’t check temperature. We do have the dehumidifiers constantly running because we have extremely humid summers.
How long do you leave your flowers to dry?
It depends on the variety and the time of year. Most things are fully dried within 4-5 days in the summer.
@@1818Farms thank you! Will you be making more videos on drying flowers? Would love to learn more!
