The term ‘Herbarium’ originally means “plant specimen”. How is it made and how can it be used?

In this article, we will introduce the charm of herbarium, how to use it, and how to create it yourself.

[What is a Herbarium?]

A ‘Herbarium’ is a decorative piece made by placing dried flowers (preserved flowers) in a small bottle filled with a special oil mixed with alcohol and preservatives.

It is said that the vibrancy of the flowers contained in the oil lasts for about a year ♩

Since the flowers are enclosed in oil, there is no need for watering or worrying about sunlight, making it easy to display ♡

The flowers gently floating in the liquid look as fresh as live flowers ♡

It also has excellent soothing effects＊

[How to Use a Herbarium?]

Herbarium is meant to be displayed in your home to enjoy its beauty. It fits perfectly in the entrance, on display shelves, or on tables, as well as in bathrooms, washrooms, and even the bath.

Placing it in a location with natural light allows light to shine through the colorful flowers, creating a beautiful effect.

Unlike fresh flowers or dried flowers, the petals do not fall, so there is no hassle of cleaning.

You can easily enjoy vibrant flowers in any corner of your home. This is why it is well-loved by interior enthusiasts ♡

Where to Buy Herbarium?

Initially, herbarium was only sold at limited flower shops, making it hard to acquire, but recently it has become easily available through online shops ♡

Various herbarium with different flowers are sold on platforms like Rakuten, Amazon, and handmade apps such as Creema and minnne.

The price typically ranges from 2,000 to 4,000 yen for one.

There are also many types of bottles, including tall bottles, round bottles, and bulb-shaped designs!

While a single piece is cute on its own, displaying a variety of differently colored herbariums together looks even more stylish ♡ It's perfect for photo opportunities＊

Can You Actually Make One Yourself?

You can actually create your own herbarium!

The materials you need are a bottle, preserved flowers, and special oil.

Simply use tweezers to place your favorite flowers in the bottle, fill it with oil, and close the lid.

It seems that you can also create a special oil by mixing ethanol and liquid paraffin.

However, there is no official recipe available, and gathering each chemical can also be quite costly.

Therefore, if you're DIYing for yourself or as a gift, it is recommended to purchase the special oil.

The special oil usually sells for about 1,600 yen for 500ml.
