- a video of Brenda Litchfield explaining the process of waxing camellias. If you want to learn more about camellias their history and care check out "Camellia Garden Field Guide." It is available on Amazon.
Couple out of nyc created a company “Venus et Fleur” .... man.. this is the oldest video on RUclips using the same technique they must use. You should definitely get credit💓
Theirs is similar but a lot more complicated. I checked out an article about the process. "They'll then cut the roses at their peak state and use a non-toxic bleach to remove their color.
Next, each rose is dehydrated. The roses are then injected with natural oils and a non-toxic and non-allergenic wax formula that is similar to silica. Afterwards, the roses sit in a color tank to soak in their dye." No wonder they last so long. They are actually dyed! I am too lazy to do all that : ) Brenda
thank you -you certainly made it look simple!

I love your video but I hate the state of Florida not just most of people but I actually hate the soil itself. sand coral whateva.
if you want I'll help you move away from that hellscape of a place. if you disagree, give it time you'll see.
Very informative and well produced, nice voice, pronunciation perfect. no fumfers no ums, no you knows, well prepared outstanding vid. I just can't believe anyone in Florida could produce anything of value whatsoever. I wish you luck and you have my sympathy
I spent 30 years in FL and loved it. Miami, Gainesville, Keystone Heights, Neptune Beach, Tallahassee. Graduated from UF, UNF, and FSU. Pretty numch covered the whole state. I'd move back in a second. Glad you liked the video. We did it in our kitchen.
God bless you for this! You've taught me so much...
Thanks. It's a lot of fun to do. I just did it for a flower club on Friday. You can download the instructions from the American Camellia site.
I just made these for my wife today! ❤
That's great! I bet she loved them. I just did a presentation last night for a garden club of 30 people. Tough to wax that many at one time and some people don't list to directions. Imagein that? I have one I did 15 days ago that still looks good. If you put them outside (cool temp) or in the fridge overnight , they will last longer.
Florida State all day... I picked your channel before I saw the video. Love your approach.
Yes, go Noles! I do hope the football team is better this year. Been a few disappointing years lately. Thanks for the feedback!
Thankyou for a wonderfull idea.xx
You explained everything so well!
Thanks. It's a lot of fun and I do several presentations every season. I just bought my new supply of wax for this year. It used to be $1 a pound and now it is over $4! I hope you try it.
Thank you for the easy directions 🙌
Thanks. It is fun to do. I hope you try it. I have not done any this season. I plan to try some summer flowers this year. Gardenias should do very well. --Brenda
Great tutorial! Have you ever try waxing white daisies?Mine won't retain their white color and turned brown 2 days after dipping them into how wax. Any suggestion on how to preserve their color?
I never check this site. If they turned brown so soon it may be because the wax was too hot. Anything above 138 for whites can burn the petals. You may even want to try lower than that. The thinner/lighter in color the petals, the lower the temp.
how long do they last once waxed?
does it stays for years ?
They will last for a couple weeks or more. Depends on how fresh the bloom was when it was waxed. When they fade (turn brown) you can spray paint them gold, silver, or even pink.
Por favor me puedes explicar en español, gracias😊
Mi español no es lo suficientemente bueno para explicarte. Lo siento. ¿Puedes leer inglés? Tengo instrucciones escritas. Puede enviarme un correo electrónico-- bcl6163@gmail.com
@@brendalitchfield8841 qué es lo de la botella blanca ?
Solo dinos los productos en español
My Spanish is not good.
aceite mineral (farmacia) y cera para hacer velas.
Aceite mineral = 125 ml
Cera = .45 kilo
Para llenar una olla es posible que tenga que duplicar las cantidades. Si las flores son grandes necesitarás más.
El aceite hace que la cera sea más delgada y así mejora los pétalos.
La cera solo hace que los pétalos sean muy duros. Flores se quedan en un minuto o más.
Puedes hacer muchos tipos diferentes de flores de esta manera.
Las flores oscuras (rojas) no hacen bien. Rosas, margaritas, orquídeas, son buenas. Las flores con pétalos gruesos son las mejores.
MÁS importante - la temperatura. 280-284 C. Más alto quemará flores. Bajar la cera será demasiado gruesa.
@@brendalitchfield8841 muchas gracias, es ud muy amable😊👍
Would this work with Epiphyllum Night Blooming Cereus? The large white blooms???
I just saw this. Sorry. You can try the Cereus. The problem you may have is that there are SO many delicate petals they may not hold up to the wax and bend. Anything with very thin petals does not do well.
Mineral oil?
I feel like I've seen them next to enemas where I work so look in that department
Yes, mineral oil.
