Abstract: Foliage of eight types: Thuja occidentalis, Grevillea robusta, Ficus religiosa, Polyalthia longifolia, Rosa species, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Murraya paniculata and Justicia gendarussa were treated with two different methods (full dip and uptake) and five different levels of glycerine i.e. 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and control (distilled water) laid out in completely randomised design (factorial) to examine its pliability as dried materials for foliar design and decoration. All levels of glycerine solutions were absorbed within 3 to 20 days by all foliage. The best concentration of glycerine solution was 40% for most of the plant foliage due to its good pliability. The best means for foliage treatment was full dip method.
