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 are safe to work with because they are not toxic at all. However, there are some cautions to take when dealing with these products. First, they should be kept out of reach from small children since they can choke them if swallowed. Second, any bead that falls on the ground should be swept up as these substances may become slippery when wet. They should also not be frozen or flushed down the drains.

They can be used as base fillers for flower centerpieces in flowers that are potted. Using them in clear glass vases forms a nice display that is appealing to the eye. They also hide the flower stalks making the arrangement of the flowers look stunning.

They use a compound called polymer which is similar to silicon. This compound is able to absorb liquids as much as 400 times it weight and release it gradually. This is a huge benefit for busy florists who may not have the time to stay close to the flowers and monitor them each day.

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 also has the benefit of releasing vitamins and other nutrients to the roots of the flowers making the flowers healthy and last for long periods. It allows for about ninety percent water absorption by the flower whereas clay soil would only allow fifty percent. Adding a small amount of natural dye makes the flowers an attractive piece of decorative display.

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.

With floral water beads, one can make different designs for displaying flowers. You could choose to use a single color for the entire design and if not so, you can work with multiple colored layers to come up with a different design. You could also buy a ready-made package from a florist but generally, making the package yourself is cheaper.
