To preserve plant material using glycerin, mix one part glycerin with two parts water. Submerge the plant stems in this solution, allowing them to absorb it over several days. The glycerin replaces the water in the plant cells, helping to retain its color and flexibility. Once the plant is fully saturated, remove it from the solution and let it dry; it can then be used for decorative purposes.
