Experiments were conducted to study the effects of various drying techniques and desiccants on the qualitative traits of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii), rose (Rosa indica), and zinnia (Zinnia elegans). The selected plant material was processed through different drying techniques and desiccants viz., air drying, sand drying, borax drying, sand and borax drying, silica gel drying, sand and silica gel drying, microwave oven drying, hot air oven drying, and the results were recorded. For gerbera and zinnia, sand drying produced good quality dry flowers with the maximum color retention, form, and the least amount of mechanical deterioration. Additionally, a treatment approach combining sand with silica gel resulted in highly acceptable quality, maintaining the color, form, texture, and intactness of the petals of gerbera and zinnia flowers. Conversely, rose flowers dried in hot air oven exhibited adequate color, form, texture, and intactness of the petals.
