The 2LB crystals come in a convenient plastic jar for easy pouring, storage, and reuse. Wear a mask and gloves during handling if necessary.
Non-toxic Indicating Silica Gel: Flower drying silica gel is a mixture of 5% small orange indicating silica gel and 95% white silica gel crystals. The cobalt chloride-free orange indicating silica gel crystals gradually change from orange to green as they become saturated with moisture, providing a convenient visual indication of moisture absorption. The small, fine crystals can easily reach between delicate flower petals, promoting even drying while helping flowers maintain their original shape.
Fine Crystals: Orange indicating crystals gradually change to green when saturated with moisture, making it easy to determine when the silica gel needs to be regenerated. The fine particles can gently flow between petals and into small spaces around the flowers for more even and thorough drying. The small crystal size also helps support delicate petals and preserve the flowers' natural shape and color during the drying process.
Easy To Reactivate: Silica gel crystals will gradually change from orange to green after absorbing moisture from fresh flowers. To reactivate the crystals, place them in an aluminum foil tray and heat them in the oven at approximately 100℃/212℉. Check the silica gel approximately every 5 minutes and stir the crystals periodically to promote even heating. The entire reactivation process may take approximately 30 minutes, or until the indicating crystals return to their original orange color. Allow the crystals to cool completely before reuse.

How do you regenerate the crystals?
Silica gel crystals will change from orange to green after drying the fresh flowers. You can restore the color by heating, but the moisture absorption rate will be reduced after each heating, and it is suggested that silica gel crystals should be replaced after 3-7 times heating. Put the silica gel crystals into the aluminum foil box and then put it in the oven until it is heated to about 200℉-250℉. Turn off the oven every 5 minutes to observe the silica gel crystals in time, and stir the silica gel crystals back and forth. The whole process lasts about 30 minutes until the silica gel crystals turns orange.
