LotFancySilica Gel Flower Drying, 2.5 LBS Color Indicating Silica Crystals for Wedding Bouquet Preservation

This silica dried flowers beautifully, and I finally found a silica where it doesn’t have to spend hours in the oven to be recharged. I place a small amount in the microwave for about a minute each and it is recharged and reusable. It’s this great for flowers, & it will definitely save you money & time unlike the other silicas that require hours of recharging in an oven!

It has worked to perfectly preserve many flowers, although I’d admit I wish it didn’t puff up fine silica dust when poured, it makes me feel sketched out about breathing it in. Even when I pour slowly it creates a big dust cloud. But it does what it’s supposed to and the best part is being able to reuse it over and over again! Definitely worth the buck!

I purchased this to try my hand at drying flowers to preserve after a family member passed away. It worked perfectly. The type of flower you use can alter the results a bit. I dried roses and some small purple filler flowers from my arrangement. The purple color stayed vibrant and they look amazing. My roses were white so I wasn’t sure how they would look but surprisingly they look great. They did turn a little but that was expected. I watched a few Utube videos on how to use the product. I used small containers with lids for the individual roses and put a few of the smaller flowers around the rose as I was filling the container. Making sure there was plenty of filler between and surrounding all the flowers and let them sit for just over a week. Slowly poured the filler off of the flowers to see my results. Pretty simple.

Bought this several months ago and actually forgot that I put flowers in it until I found it on the shelf. The roses and daisys help their shapes well and were nicely dried..the flowers colors were still accurate. There was no dimples on the petals that I get with bigger silicone beads. The "sand" was easy to shake off. The little brush was an added bonus. It is so easy to use. Pour a small amount in the container, arrange the flowers/leaves, add more silicone to cover them completely. Put the lid on the container and you are all set.

I bought his for my daughter in laws wedding bouquet and was a bit skeptical I kept looking at the flowers and they weren't losing their color but they were drying.I've used other products and the colors are so muted when completely dry that they aren't very pretty. I would highly recommend this product to everyone!!!

My daughter caught the bouquet at a wedding reception recently and wanted to preserve the flowers. She asked me to try this kit because it came with the container and brush. I have to say, it was really easy to use and these are the results after 6 days covered in the silica. The blossoms feel completely dry but not ready to disintegrate. There were four petals that fell off when I was gently brushing off the sand, but for the most part they felt pretty stable. I didn't cover the baby's breath, I just laid it on top and it seems to have dried out well without yellowing too much. We plan to arrange them in a shadow box. The resealable bag and container make it easy to store the silica crystals for future use.

Me encanta no lo he usado pero pronto y comprare otro!

Good
