Lovely Looking Floral Water Beads

By Katrina Wheeler


Floral water beads are made from special polymers, using absorbent polymer technology. They contain water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and make just a perfect environment for planting some types of plants. Thanks to their design, they slowly supply plants with liquid and food, and look more than interesting when placed in glass bowls and vases.

Bamboos, Dragon plants and some other plants will be perfectly happy without any soil if you plant them in a bowl filled with hydrated beads. You should check with your florist which types will appreciate this environment, and which have to be planted in the soil. Some types will be happiest in combined beads and soil, but this depends on the type.

Different beads are highly decorative elements in any home decor. They are available in many different colors, including yellow, gold, purple, pink, teal, white, black, orange, blue and coral. Clear ones look perfectly beautiful, and they can be combined with all other colors. Combining clear and colored beads can make very appealing combinations, for any occasion.

They usually come in small, practical packages of five grams. Each package contains tiny little seed-like things that will become larger once they soak up the liquid. This process usually takes up to twelve hours, and you will get maybe three cups of soft, hydrated marbles from one tiny package. Depending on the type, some seeds may become three hundred times larger when hydrated.

Placed in some lovely glass vase or nice looking translucent bowl, these beads are highly decorative. You can simply pick up a flower and put it in there, they will provide needed stability and enough liquid for it. If you combine different colors, for example green and red at Christmas, it will look even more interesting, and create very appealing atmosphere in your beautiful home.

Once hydrated, these soft, translucent marbles are safe to touch and feel really nice in your hand. They are smooth, but not slimy at all. If you want to replace them with differently colored ones, it is enough to let them dry for some time, until they reach their original size. Then you can safely store them until you need them again. The procedure for making them grow again is the same.

There is another nice way of using them. They will be very interesting to your children, if they are old enough to play with them. Of course, you should supervise them during play, because these balls aren't designed to be swallowed. Small kids shouldn't play with them, because they often put things in heir mouths. There are some really interesting games that can be found online, if you need an inspiration.

Floral water beads can really be used in so many different ways. They make very appealing decorative element, and colors can be combined to provide very interesting effects. You could plant your bamboos and similar plants in some nice looking glass container, and they will take care about watering and feeding them regularly. They can be dried and reused whenever you feel like it, and remain beautiful and attractive for long time.
