LotFancy Silica Gel Flower Drying, 6 LBS Color Indicating Silica Crystals for Wedding Bouquet Preservation

Quality:I used this to preserve a friends wedding flowers and this was the perfect amount of gentle and fine beads to maintain the flower's shape without breaking the brittle petals

Able to dry flowers and re use silica

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!

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.

Worked well! Dried my flowers without losing any of the color! Only downfall is it is hard to scoop out the dead petals because it is so fine. Easy to use!

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!

Absolutely fantastic works exactly as described this dried the flowers very quickly for the artwork that I do
