Which of the following methods is highly suitable for drying of hydrangea flowers ?
EXPLANATION
Dehydration Technology, Pressed Flowers & Dry
- Drying Methods for Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla):
- Hydrangea mophead blooms have large, papery, delicate petaloid sepals that easily crumple, shrink, or turn brittle if dried in air or pressed.
- Water Drying Method: Freshly harvested mature hydrangea inflorescences (cut when individual florets feel slightly papery) are placed in a container with a small amount of water ($2-5\text{ cm}$).
- As the water is slowly transpired and naturally evaporates over 10–14 days in a dark, dry room, the florets desiccate gradually from the base upward, retaining natural globular form, petal texture, and soft antique coloration without drooping.
- Correct Option: Option 2 (Water drying).
