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

I used this silica gel to dry flowers from my garden, and it worked beautifully! The petals held their shape and color much better than air drying. Easy to use and reusable—highly recommend for anyone wanting to save special blooms or create keepsakes.

Works great even on delicate flowers. Preserved color and shape. It's important to use mask and gloves. A fine paintbrush helps to remove it after three weeks when dry. Dried flowers in tightly sealing metal pint cans.

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!

I cannot speak to the end result yet as I just covered my flowers yesterday but I wanted to make note that this product is VERY dusty. You must wear a mask when pouring or working with the beads. Make sure to do it in a well ventilated area or preferrably outside. Even using the provided mask I still breathed in a lot of dust so buyer beware. I'll update once my flowers are dried to share the end result.Update: the effectiveness depends on the hardiness of your flower. It is possible that the weight of the beads was too heavy on my dainty daisies, but they did not survive. My roses, however, look fantastic. I added a star.

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

This product dry my flowers perfectly to apply resin

Bought to dry out flowers from funeral took about a week but everything dried beautifully

I am new to drying flowers so I am no expert in this field, but I have dried about dozen or so flowers with this product with no problem. I don't have space to hang dry flowers so I can't compare the result however I am pleased with the results I have gotten so far. Do note that is VERY dusty so be careful where and how you use it.
