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.

Only five grams of tiny little dehydrated seeds will become approximately three full cups of hydrated ones. Each bead will soak enough liquid to become up to few hundred times larger, depending on the type. You just have to put an appropriate amount of water in a dish and add dehydrated tiny seeds in it. After a while, you will have a full bowl of beautiful, decorative translucent balls.

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.

If you try to touch them, you will be surprised how soft and smooth they feel. Don't worry, they are not slimy. When you want to change your decoration, simply remove them from the bowl and let them dry for several days. After that, they will be small again and ready to be appropriately stored. You can use them again when you feel like it. They are quite durable, and you will be able to use hem over and over again.

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.
