Why Use Floral Water Beads?

By Marissa Velazquez


Floral water beads play a major role in the flower decorating business. They are basically small decorative objects that swell as much as ten times their actual size when added to water. They are used to make flowers in vases look more beautiful. They add a beautiful color when added to a flower arrangement in a clear glass vase. These substances are biodegradable and are a powerful absorbent of liquids.

They do not produce any toxins and are therefore harmless. Great caution should however be taken still because if used wrongly, they could harm. They are not meant to be swallowed and should thus be kept out of reach from small children who may swallow them as they play along with them and choke. They also tend to become slippery once they are hydrated and should therefore be swept off the ground to stay safe from falling. A person is required to dispose them safely and should not flush them down the drains or freeze them.

These products are used to pot flowers and they can also act as base fillers for flower centerpieces. When used with floral arrangements in clear flower vases, they provide a beautiful color alternative. They also hide the stalks so that the arrangement appears neater and more appealing.

These beads make use of a substance called polymer and this substance is similar to silicon. It can absorb liquids of up to 400 times its weight and release them slowly. This feature is a big blessing to florists who tend to be busy and do not have time to keep monitoring their flowers. The feature enables them to do other businesses while the flowers progress on well.

This product is a great plant gel as well because it can be used in place of natural soil which is not so smart for potted plants. The fact that it is odorless and does not produce any toxins makes it environmental friendly. It is very convenient for use with house plants. It has the advantage of lasting for very long periods which could go up to seven years.

It releases vitamins and other useful nutrients directly to the flower roots making them healthier and last longer. Water absorption with this substance can be as high as 90 percent while with clay soil it reaches a mere 50 percent. This is a huge difference and a great reason to use it instead of soil. Adding natural dye to it makes the flowers very appealing to look at.

People often use them to make decorations with flowers during special events. Gift items can also be wrapped along with these items to make them look classy. The glass vase could be in fact cheap but when you add some clear crystals to be the base fillers for the package, it appears gorgeous and expensive. One could use artificial or natural flowers and could either submerge them into the crystals or let them just float and they will appear classy gorgeous way.

Floral water beads may be used to make different designs for plant display. A single or a multiple of colors may be used. The package could be bought complete from a florist or homemade but the latter is cheaper.
