Silica Gel for Flower Drying 1kg - Fine Granular - Preserve Flowers & Crafts

Fine granular silica gel for drying and preserving flowers while keeping their natural colour and shape.

A 1kg pack of blue colour changing silica gel made for flower drying. Bury fresh flowers in the fine granules and the gel quickly absorbs moisture, drying them faster than air drying while holding their form. The granules start blue and turn a lighter shade once they have absorbed moisture, which signals that the gel needs reactivating by drying. It is reusable, safe and non toxic, ideal for preserved flowers, resin work and home decor.

Pro Tips

Place a layer of gel in an airtight container, set the flower on top, then gently pour more gel around and into the petals until the bloom is fully covered, keeping its shape. Seal and leave for a few days depending on flower thickness. When the granules turn pale, dry them in a low oven or microwave to restore the blue colour and reuse them. Keep out of reach of children and do not eat the granules.

Complete Your Setup

Pair this silica gel with an airtight container for drying, fine tweezers for handling delicate blooms, a soft brush to dust off granules, and epoxy resin or moulds if you are setting the dried flowers in resin.
