PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for drying plants, which freely selects a state from a pressed flower state to a semi-three-dimensional state, uniformly pushes and presses plants such as flowering plants, etc., even in unevenness of plants by a simple operation and dries plants in a short time and a superposition vessel for drying plants.SOLUTION: The method for drying plants comprises a plant storage process for storing plants to be dried in a superposition vessel that uses a soft mesh material on the undersurface, is storable in a superimposed state and usable in a microwave oven, a superposition process for storing a desiccant such as silica gel, etc., in a vessel usable in a microwave oven, storing the superposition vessel having passed the plant storage process on the top of the desiccant, storing a granular desiccant such as silica gel, etc., in the superposition vessel, storing the superposition vessel in which a soft mesh material is used on the undersurface in the vessel and superimposing the superimposition vessels and a drying process for drying the superimposition vessels having passed the superimposition process by using a microwave oven, in which water of the plants is adsorbed on the granular desiccant and the plants are dried.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】 本発明は押し花状態から半立体形状まで自由に選択できる、簡単な操作で草花等の植物に凹凸があっても均等に押し圧して、短時間に乾燥させることができる植物の乾燥方法および植物の乾燥用重ね合せ容器を得るにある。【解決手段】 底面に柔らかなメッシュ材が用いられた重ね合せ状態で収納可能な、電子レンジで使用できる重ね合せ容器内に乾燥させる植物を収納する植物収納工程と、電子レンジで使用される容器内にシリカゲル等の乾燥剤を収納した後、該乾燥剤の上部に前記植物収納工程を経た重ね合せ容器を収納するとともに、該重ね合せ容器内にシリカゲル等の粒状乾燥剤を収納した、底面に柔らかなメッシュ材が用いられた重ね合せ容器を収納して重ね合せる重ね合せ工程と、この重ね合せ工程を経たものを電子レンジを用いて、植物の水分を粒状乾燥剤に吸着させて乾燥させる乾燥工程とで植物の乾燥方法を構成している。【選択図】 図1
