How To Use Floral Water Beads


By Katrina Wheeler


Floral water beads are made from special polymers, using absorbent polymer technology. They contain water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and make just a perfect environment for planting some types of plants. Thanks to their design, they slowly supply plants with liquid and food, and look more than interesting when placed in glass bowls and vases.

If you plant your bamboo in a bowl filled with hydrated floral beads, it will work very well. Some other plants can also live in this strange environment without any problems, for example all types of palms, or maybe Dragon plant. Others will need some soil added, and some are not suitable for using them at all. You have to check it up with your florist.

Different beads are highly decorative elements in any home decor. They are available in many different colors, including yellow, gold, purple, pink, teal, white, black, orange, blue and coral. Clear ones look perfectly beautiful, and they can be combined with all other colors. Combining clear and colored beads can make very appealing combinations, for any occasion.

They can really soak up so much liquid. A small package with only five grams of seed-looking tiny things will become three full cups of soft, smooth marbles. It will take up to twelve hours to get to their final size. Then you can use them any way you want, for planting your flowers or for decorating your living space.

Placed in some lovely glass vase or nice looking translucent bowl, these beads are highly decorative. You can simply pick up a flower and put it in there, they will provide needed stability and enough liquid for it. If you combine different colors, for example green and red at Christmas, it will look even more interesting, and create very appealing atmosphere in your beautiful home.

These little translucent balls feel like soft, smooth marbles if you touch them. They are not slimy in any way. When they are out of water for several days, they shrink back to their original size. This way they can be stored and used again when you need them. They will eventually burst, but until that time, you will enjoy many lovely days with this interesting decoration in your home.

There is another nice way of using them. They will be very interesting to your children, if they are old enough to play with them. Of course, you should supervise them during play, because these balls aren't designed to be swallowed. Small kids shouldn't play with them, because they often put things in heir mouths. There are some really interesting games that can be found online, if you need an inspiration.

In any case, these soft marbles can be used as an appealing decorative element. Scented packages are also available, for decorative purposes. Floral water beads are just perfect for people with hectic work schedule, because they won't have to worry about watering their lovely plants regularly. These little things will take a very good care about it, watering and feeding them on the most exciting way.
