Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I dry flowers with this silica gel?
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 stray crystals.

Q: Is it reusable?
A: Yes. Once the crystals absorb moisture, reactivate them by heating until they dry out, then reuse them many times.

Q: Which flowers dry best?
A: Roses, hydrangeas, sunflowers, daisies, carnations, marigold, gomphrena, and baby's breath. Very wet flowers like tulips and lilies are harder.

Q: Does it keep the colour?
A: Yes. Silica gel preserves colour far better than air-drying or pressing, which can fade and flatten blooms.

Q: Can I use it for anything else?
A: Yes. The same crystals work as a moisture absorber to keep stored items dry when you are not drying flowers.

Q: Is it safe?
A: It is non-toxic, but avoid ingesting it and keep it away from children and pets. Wear a mask and gloves when handling, as it can create fine dust.
