The listing, Water Bead Gel Balls for Bamboo Plant or Vase / Soil Substitute - 1 Packet, RED has ended.
Winner will receive 1 packet of RED water bead balls exactly as shown. These work great for small vases and lucky bamboo plants!
Water beads are made of a water-absorbing polymer. They start out as tiny little solid balls, and when water is added, they absorb and expand much larger!
Because of the gel-like consistency when fully grown, a vase filled with these balls provides support to bamboo stalks, allowing them to stand upright. The balls are non-toxic and do double-duty while releasing the water / moisture back into the vase.
Not only are they unique and pretty to look at, they're beneficial to your plants, too!
Package is labeled "Designed in Korea" and "Made in China".
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place beads in small* vase, add water until 3/4 full.
2. Beads will begin to expand within 4 hours. Dump out excess water.
3. Beads will shrink slightly over time. Simply add more water to re-hydrate and they'll plump back up.
4. The beads may be rinsed to clean them if necessary.
*Consider a smaller vase if you're using only this 1 packet. My example photo shows 2 packets of beads used to fill that larger globe vase.
Though they are non-toxic, please make sure to keep water beads away from children and pets.
