Research Guides: Drying and Pressing Flowers: Drying Flowers

Silica gel is one of the easiest and most reliable desiccants to use. Silica gel is actually not a gel: it looks like white sand with blue crystals. Once the gel has reached its saturation point, the crystals turn pink. You will need to dry these flowers in a plastic container with a lid. Place one inch of silica gel in the empty container.
