Benefits Of Using Floral Water Beads

By Marissa Velazquez


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.

These substances produce no toxins at all and are therefore safe to work with. This does not mean that they would not pose any danger though while wrongfully used. The user should take certain precautions to keep himself and those around him safe. He should make sure that he sweeps any fallen bead because they tend to become slippery when wet. They should also be kept away from children who may swallow them because they could choke them. They are also not to be discarded into drains or frozen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You could make different designs for floral displays with the use of these floral water beads. The whole package could be designed using just a single color and on the other hand, it could be designed using different colors. One may choose to buy a complete package from a florist but that is more expensive than just making it yourself.
