Q: How do I dry flowers with it?
A: Layer the flowers in an airtight container, cover them fully with the crystals, seal, and wait 2 to 7 days. Then lift them out and brush off.

Q: Is it reusable?
A: Yes. Reactivate the crystals by heating until they dry out, then reuse them many times for either purpose.

A: Roses, hydrangeas, sunflowers, daisies, carnations, marigold, gomphrena, and baby's breath.

Q: Is it safe and non-toxic?
A: Yes, it is non-toxic, but do not ingest it and keep it away from children and pets. Wear a mask and gloves when handling, as it can create fine dust.

Q: How do I store it when not in use?
