The most important aspect is how to ensure the integrity of the plant's morphology, especially the integrity of the flower's morphology, and to efficiently complete the drying process while maximizing color retention. The drying process requires retaining the original color and preventing pigment decomposition, so it has high requirements for temperature control. It is usually completed under relatively low temperature conditions. Generally, ovens, drying boxes and other faster heating and drying equipment or methods cannot be used; freeze-drying methods can maximize the retention of the morphology, color, structure, etc. of flowers or plants, but they generally have high requirements for equipment, are costly and have low efficiency, so their frequency of use is also low.
