RE: Preserving Mistletoe and Magnolia Leaves for Christmas Wreaths Post By Midge (Guest Post) (02/06/2008) Did any of the suggestions work? I am trying to preserve fresh mistletoe now myself and found you had already tried. Report This Post RE: Preserving Mistletoe and Magnolia Leaves for Christmas Wreaths Post By Claire S.

It dries them out and they are pretty. Just cut them lay in a tray, cover with litter, and then layer again if needed until you have amount you want done. I have also read in my MICROWAVE INSTRUCTION BOOK, it can be done in it, but never tried it.....I want to preserve red, peppers I have harvested from my garden, so I am gonna try the cat litter method......Good luck tmelton (at) wayxcable (dot) com Report This Post RE: Preserving Mistletoe and Magnolia Leaves for Christmas Wreaths Post By Scott J. (Guest Post) (09/14/2004) I'm not sure if it will work with Mistletoe and Mangolia leaves, but it's probably worth a try: I use to know a lady that preserved eucolyptus branches for swags by cutting fresh ends and then soaking the ends in either glycerine or anti-freeze for a few days.
