wisedry Silica Gel Flower Drying Crystals - 5 LBS, Color Indicating, Reusable

Great and even easy for a non crafty person to use!! Saved my moms funeral floral arrangement to make a shadow box! Look exactly the same when dried! Color and all, just be gentle!

Excellent product. Simple to use and does exactly what it claims. It dried my wedding bouquet flowers perfect. I love that the crystals are reusable to a certain extent. I recommend this product.

Wow is all I can say! Never knew something like this even existed but was very pleased using it for the first time. I started a new resin hobby so I am no expert but I wanted to try a flower project and bought this stuff and it didn’t disappoint. Preserved my flowers beautifully and I was able to put them in resin to preserve for a lifetime. I was so happy I bought another bag and started to preserve more flowers for other projects. One project is done and that’s the photo I provided in this review. I thought for a first time use this couldn’t have turned out any better. Really happy and will purchase again when I need to. It’s a plus that it’s reusable!

I have bought this 4 times now I absolutely love using this product to dry out it my flowers to use in resin. I have included one of my most recent projects that has roses that I dried using this product.

The instructions are pretty straightforward and was so easy to do. I left 6 flowers from my grandpas funeral buried in the gel beads for about 7 days to make sure they were good and ready. I only got four flowers out of it since 2 of them broke apart when I was digging them out of the beads. Not a huge problem since I was only able to fit 2 in our shadow box I was putting together to remember both my grandparents. It came out super cute, and my dad loves it. If you’re looking to keep flowers looking colorful and alive, I recommend this!

I have tried many different flower drying techniques and this came out the best, keeping the color and integrity of the flower. The price made me feel a little iffy about getting this, but when drying my wedding bouquet, I did not want to take any chances and this was the right decision. I did have to buy a total of 20lbs to do all my flowers and once everything was dried, I saved the sand and have 15lbs left. This was very easy to use and let my flowers dry for 10+ days. Sand does go into every crevice of the flower. Flowers still had their color which was wonderful. Though flowers become so fragile once dried out and you have to be very careful.

Awesome product I love how you can handle 9t without gloves and it doesn't dry your hands. It doesn't dust into the air and it drys perfectly. Some flowers take less then other. The roses posted are one bouquet with two different gels and the ones on the stick are dried by this one the other one over dried them as you can tell.

Good using for flowers

Just what I need to dry my flowers.

This stuff works very well. It's quite fine, and significantly finer than regular table salt or white sugar. I use it in airtight containers to keep the contents dry. I also use thermo-hygrometers to tell me the humidity in the containers. For the regular Wiseorb silica gel beads, I use 4"x3" muslin bags, but this is too fine for them. For this stuff, I use paper tea bags as it doesn't fall through the pores. I've used both unbleached and bleached (white) paper tea bags. I like the white ones better as they're slightly translucent so I can see the granules, whereas with the unbleached paper tea bags, they're quire opaque. Drying it out is very easy. Microwave or oven. Microwaves work, but you need to do it intermittently otherwise you'll burn it or burn the muslin/paper tea bags. (Some tea bags will melt, so avoid those - test 1 bag when drying first.) Drying in the oven really seems to be the best way. I dry it for long period at the lowest temperature possible - 170 on my ovens. You don't accidentally burn it that way, like can happen in a microwave.

This has worked extremely well well. Used multiple times without the need to recharge. Like granular sand so gets in all the nooks and crannies. Used to dry wedding flowers.
