ACTIVA FLOWER DRYING SILICA GEL 5LB

El olor de los cristales es fuerte pero si conserva el color de las flores. Sin embargo no funciona con hojas o follaje, probé con hojas monstera.

I preserved my flowers for 10 days and it looked so beautiful

I have to say I was a little skeptical about this stuff. I gave it a go and I am quite impressed. My flowers have dried exactly how I put them in the containers and didn't wilt like they normally do by doing the old fashioned hanging them upside down method.I will say, they are just as fragile as a normally dried upside down flower. . I discovered a few ways to fix that, like dipping them in wax or putting a coat of resin over them. There are really a lot of things to do with them once they dry so check Youtube and Pinterest for some cool ideas.However, the only 'downside' is that it's difficult to dry the flower with the stem and all its glory since you have to cover the entire flower with the gel. You ultimately need to trim them down to just a small stemmed flower. . which makes it difficult to arrange them in a vase later on. The best solution I found (without buying 100 pounds of this stuff to cover an entire bouquet including the stems) is to cut them down, dry them, and then buy the artificial stems. I'm new at this so there may be better alternatives out there, but the gel itself works amazingly well.

Have not used the item but it certainly did not come in the package shown on the product page! The bag it came in was leaking and we had to vacuum the house because of that. It’s now been kept outside the house with all the other gardening tools. Disappointed.
