Silica gel for drying flowers

Small granules (2-5 mm).
Silica gel is used for bulk drying and drying that gives a natural shape to a rose (see photo of dried flowers)
Silica gel – the ideal solution for those who want to preserve the natural beauty of flowers for a long time and create crafts from epoxy resin and dried flowers.
Our medium-sized silica gel (2-5 mm) is best suited for drying large-leaved and medium-sized flowers (peonies, roses, etc.)

Advantages:

• Fast and efficient drying: absorbs moisture quickly and evenly, ensuring optimal results.
• Preservation of color and shape: flowers retain their natural color by 90%.

The shape of the future flower can be given by changing the position of the petals.
When placing roses on a silica gel pillow, slightly deepening the lower surface and leaving it in a room at a temperature of 28-30 degrees, you can achieve beautiful, relaxed shape (see photo)
Versatile: After several cycles of use, silica gel can be regenerated (dried) and used again, which makes it cost-effective. Proper regeneration restores all its properties.
Ease of use: Just place the flowers in a container with silica gel and leave for a few days to achieve the desired result.

🔄 How to regenerate silica gel in granules (2-5 mm)?

✅ Temperature mode
We recommend two methods depending on your priorities:

✔ Safe mode (maximum durability):

• Temperature: 110-120 °C
• Time: 4-6 hours
• The mode is suitable for those who want to maintain the resource up to 500 cycles.

⚡ Fast mode (time saving):

• Temperature: 140-150 °C
• Time: 2-3 hours
• Use if you need to quickly prepare silica gel.

Maximum: you can briefly raise the temperature to 160 °C, but no more than 2 hours.
✅ How to do it right dry?

1. Spread the granules evenly in a thin layer.
2. Place in the oven with the door ajar.
3. Stir every 30 minutes.
4. After cooling, transfer to an airtight container.

⚠ Important

• Do not use a microwave oven.
• Do not exceed 160 °C to avoid damaging the structure.

🌸 Tip: after regeneration, store the silica gel in an airtight bag so that it does not absorb moisture from the air.
