Silica Gel Flower Drying – 7 LBS Flower Drying Silica by Reusable, Color Indicating Silica Gel Beads for Drying Flowers, Silica Sand Flower Drying for Wedding Decoration, Resin Mold, Graduation

These silica crystals work exceptionally well for drying flowers to preserve bouquets or for use in resin art. They produce little to no dust, yet the fine particles easily settle into dense blooms, ensuring thorough drying. Small flowers like violets dry in about 4 days, while larger ones like roses take 3–4 weeks. I’ve also had great success using them to dry out insects and butterflies for resin projects. The large container holds enough crystals to dry multiple flowers at once, making it a practical and efficient option for crafters and preservationists alike.

I used this to dry out the flowers I got in my anniversary and oh my gosh. They look like they are still alive. The color is gorgeous no decay or molding. Super easy to use and worked great.

This product was really easy to use, there was not a lot of smell associated with the use of this product. It was perfect for drying my flowers in a short amount of time. The best part is it is reusable!

Easy instructions and worked great for drying my flowers

These did a very nice job of drying my flowers. I've used the same crystals several times to dry flowers in a sealed bin. I actually bought a second jug of these when I had a lot of flowers to dry for a project my daughter was working on. I'm happy with this purchase and would buy this item again.

This was my first attempt at drying flowers using silica but it seemed super easy to do. I have to wait three days to see how everything turns out but I suspect that if the flowers are not dry, it’s because they need additional time and not that there is anything wrong with the silica.

This is the small grain. It leaves no impressions in flower petals,(like the pellet type does) easy to get between small petals. When I put it in rose buds I was able to tell by the color of the sand when I emptied the buds if there was still moisture in them by the color of the sand, so I could just do the process again if it was needed.

I used it to dry some flowers. Using it was easy - wear a mask when handling it and gloves because it gets very dusty and can irritate your skin. Only took a couple of days to dry some flowers just like the bottle suggests.
