Decorative Crystal Soil Water Beads for Centerpieces

Crystal water beads will help make life easier for the gardeners, while they create a glowing decor that will keep plants and flowers fresh. I like them as table centerpieces at wedding receptions and bridle showers.

Water beads are used as a Soil Replacement or additive for house and garden plants, it is a decorative medium for parties, candles, and they can be used as a room freshener. Absorbing Water Bead Crystals are easy to use, just add water. Crystal soil water beads are non-toxic and bio-degradable, and the beads are colorfast. Soil vigor moisture trap polymers make a difference in plant and root health, and are great for flowers in a vase or bowl; near a light source they become more decorative.

Crystal Soil Is Very Decorative For Many Gardening Decors

The Gnomes Will Make Themselves Right AT Home

Crystal soil beads are non-toxic, so if a child or pet gets into them Not To Worry! They also bio-degradable, which is nice if your concerned about the environmental. What I like about the beads is that the colors don't fade, not even in the sun-light. Soil beads really do make a difference in plant and root health, I have seen the difference first-hand.

What Are Water Beads? They are a Super Absorbent Polymer and can absorb up to 200 times their own weight. You can even soak them in pot potpourri oils to make your own room fresheners. Be careful because Gnomes like to play with the water beads, so watch them mischievous little ones!

Soil water beads turn into kind of a Jello marbles after being soaked in water. They are similar to the material found in disposable diapers.

What I Love About Crystal Soil

They make pretty Wedding & Special Events Centerpieces.

I love the colors that Crystal Soil comes in as they add a great decorative splash of accent colors.

Crystal Soils have been great for starting new plant clippings in a lovely vase or bowl, and I use that as a nice centerpiece.

The Crystal Soil can be used indoor or outdoors to keep plants watered, and they cut down on how much I need to water. They are awesome to add in garden beds, outdoor garden plants and indoors.

I can see why Gnomes love the water beads so much. Look at what happens to the beads after being soaked in water. That's why a little goes a long ways.

My ancestress are from Finland and there is a story of a mysterious greenwood box that was discovered in the rafters of an old barn in northern Finland, it was found to contain tiny bundles of paper, each with descriptions of the Christmas rituals of gnomes. If you don't know, in every gnome home, Christmas lasts for a month. It signals the coming of the next new year, in which gnomes ring in with a blessing: "May this year be full of proud deeds and silly games, beautiful songs and hearty feasts, clever jokes, loving friends, and enough surprises to keep us on our toes."
