there are seven steps. mark me as brainiest and thank me
Explanation:
step 1: collecting - what to collect
Plants are easiest to identify when flowering and press best when they have fresh blooms. Keep an eye out for plants that are close to blooming, and collect a sample as soon as the flowers open! Always collect healthy, pest-free, and dry specimens- all these things will ensure a better quality press.
step 2: preparation - protecting the specimens
After collecting, protect the specimens from damage during transport. Place them in sealable plastic bags within a sturdy leather satchel to help retain moisture and to protect them from both heat and breakage.
step 3:pressing - pressing the specimens
After proper preparation, load the plants into the press, making sure there is a layer of parchment between the plants and the plywood dividers on both top and bottom.
step 4 mounting - mounting the specimens
step 5 step 5: freezing - freezing the specimens
After mounting the specimens, I again lay each one between layers of parchment paper, separated by the plywood dividers as they were in the press.
step 6 identification - identifying the specimens
step 7: cataloging and storage - preserving the specimens
