2. Making use of floral water beads in your home could be
beneficial to you. These are basically tiny substances
that are used in decoration of flower arrangements.
Though small, they can swell up to ten times their actual
size. Apart from acting as a powerful liquid absorbent,
they are also biodegradable. Florists often add them to
their flower arrangement to make the whole package
appear more attractive.
3. 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.
4. They are normally used in potted flowers as base fillers
for flower centerpieces. They bring out a nice color
when used in clear flower vases. They also make the
flower arrangement look stunning by hiding the stalks
which are normally not so pleasing to the eye.
5. 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.
6. They greatly appreciate this product as a plant gel since
they can use it instead of natural soil for the potted
flowers. It is also very convenient because it does not
produce any odor or toxins making it environmental
friendly. If properly maintained it can go for as long as
seven years and if used in gardens, it helps in water
conservation.
7. This product releases vitamins and nutrients directly to
the roots of the flowers which make the flowers healthy
and thus increasing their life span. Clay soil only allows
about 50 percent water absorption but with this
substance, the absorption can reach up to 90 percent. By
adding a bit of natural dye, the flowers become an
attractive display.
8. Special events such as baby showers may require
decorations. Well-arranged flowers in beautiful vases
could be among the decorations and they appear perfect
when the water beads are used. Gift items could also
accompanied by these items. One could buy a cheap
glass vase or bowl and add these products and this will
change the appearance of the whole package. Artificial
or seasoned flowers could be used for this purpose.
Submerging them into the crystals or letting them to just
float on to works well in both cases.
9. 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.
