Depends on the thickness of the plant being pressed, the amount of moisture in the leaves (succulents can take months to dry), whether you can get some air circulation going, and if you
change the papers/blotters when they get moist.
Under good conditions (press, blotters, and corrugates, warm temps), 24 hours is enough for most non-succulents. Figure at least three days if any of those conditions change. And up to years for succulents. I've opened a herbarium case of what should have been dead, dried cacti glued to pieces of paper and properly labeled, and found live shoots... just add light and a little water and they'll keep on growing. %26lt;g%26gt;
How long does it take for pressed flowers to dry out?
About a week or two.
