Herb plant drying method

In general, the drying methods include “natural drying”, “use of desiccants” and “adding medicines to make them dry”. Here we introduce “natural drying”, which is the most natural and the most Suitable for drying plants of herbs.

In the natural drying method, we can hang the plant upside down, insert it directly into the container or spread the plant flat to let the plant dry naturally. Which method to apply depends on the type of vanilla.

upside down

Upside down is the simplest of all natural drying methods.

Just put the stems of the plants in order, bundle them with ropes or rubber bands, and hang them up to dry naturally.

If it is a plant with seeds on the branches of dill, it is necessary to put a part of the seed in a holed paper bag and tie the bag to hang it. This will prevent the seeds from falling.

During the drying process, check the condition of the vanilla from time to time. Some overlapping parts of the leaves are easy to turn black and discolored. To remove the thicker leaves of the sage, it takes a long time to dry completely. Be patient.

Insert in the container

Some plants can be naturally dried directly in the container, such as rice plants, grains and fruits, as long as the container is inserted upright, it can easily become dry. For example, hydrangeas or delphinium, etc., as long as a small amount of water is added at the beginning, and then it is allowed to dry naturally; other lavender plants can also be used in the same manner directly after harvesting and inserted directly into a vase. Place it in a well-ventilated place and soon it will naturally dry into a beautiful dry flower.

Branchlets, leaves, flowers, etc., which cannot be bundled and tied, can be dried by this method. If placed directly on the ground, it may cause inconvenience in daily life. Therefore, it is best to find open boxes, framed nets, or flat places. The three-section steel frame used for drying or hanging sweaters can also be used.

The dried herbs used for brewing herb tea can be dried by spreading the leaves and petals in this way.

The same is true of basil, mint, leaves of lemon balm, and flowers of chamomile.

In addition, the scallops can be inserted into the bigger nets with their stems, and then the whole scorpion is hung up. For heavier plants such as artichokes or corn, it is advisable to look for a particularly strong metal grid to hang it and dry it. This will be safer.

Harvest time

If you want to dry your own cultivated herbs, the timing of harvesting is very important. If the plant is harvested before it is fully developed, the whole plant will be depleted and depleted, so be sure to wait until the plant is strong before starting the harvest.

Vanilla plants are the most scented period before flowering, so the best harvesting period is when the calyx is already bulging and it takes time to harvest before it begins to bloom. At this time, the essential oil composition is also the most abundant and full. On a sunny morning, pick your own hand-grown herbs, rinse and wipe off the water, remove the injured and withered leaves, and dry them in groups.

Suitable for dry places

Places with good ventilation, cool temperatures and no direct sunlight are the ideal places for plants to dry naturally. However, it should be noted that too much light may cause discoloration, and that too much moisture or too hot weather should be avoided, so that plants can enter a perfectly dry state.

After drying method

Dried herbs can be used to make wreaths, flower arrangements, crafts, or brewing herbal teas, which are fun. But if you do not use it immediately, pack the flowers together with the branches and leaves in a medical newspaper or clean white paper, put it in a desiccant box, or separate the leaves, flowers and petals, and put them individually in a closed jar. Save it so as to ensure quality.
