Product detailed description

Silica gel for drying flowers with moisture indicator – 400 g

Silica gel for drying flowers with a practical moisture indicator is a great helper for everyone who wants to preserve the natural shape and color of flowers. Dried flowers are then ready for casting in resin, arranging into decorations, or for further crafting.

Silica gel properties

• 400 g pack – suitable for repeated use
• Moisture indicator – changes color when saturated, so you know when the granules need to be dried
• Gentle drying of flowers without crushing and deformation
• Suitable for drying flowers, petals, and small natural items
• Can be reused after drying the silica gel (e.g., in the oven according to manufacturer's recommendations)

What is silica gel good for

• Preparing flowers for resin: drying flowers for casting into coasters, jewelry, pictures, or decorations
• Creative decorations: wreaths, arrangements in bowls or jars, decorations under glass or in frames
• Preserving memories: dried flowers from a wedding, prom, or other special events

How to dry flowers in silica gel

1. Pour a layer of silica gel into a sealable container.
2. Carefully place or embed the flowers into the granules so that they are as well-covered as possible.
3. Close the container and let the flowers dry for several days (the drying time depends on the size and type of flowers).
4. Once the indicator shows saturation, it is advisable to dry the silica gel again according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Tip for creating with resin

After drying, let the flowers briefly acclimatize at room temperature and gently brush off any silica gel dust. These prepared flowers are ideal for casting in epoxy resin – they will retain their shape and color much better than with conventional pressing.
