Is Silica Gel safe to use?

Yes, Silica Gel is certified safe and non-toxic.

Can Silica Gel be reused?

Yes, it is reusable and doesn't wear out.

Has anyone dried a full bouquet intact or do you have to split up the flowers? I want to dry my wedding bouquet.

Since each flower has to be totally covered (including between the petals), it would take a LOT of product to cover all the bouquet. The only way to do it is to take it apart and dry the flowers separately, then put it back together artistically.

How long does it take to dry out flowers on average?

It takes less than a week, usually 5 days, depending on the size of the flowers.

Can you dry smaller flowers such as baby's breath?

Yes, smaller flowers dry better because they are more compact.

How does the microwave method work for drying flowers? How long does it usually take for flowers like daisies and roses?

For a daisy, it takes 2 to 3 minutes on medium heat in a microwave-safe bowl filled with silica. For a rose, it takes 3 to 3.5 minutes on medium heat. Fill the bowl with 1-2 inches of silica, place the flower face up, and cover with more silica. Place a cup of water in the back of the microwave and turn it on according to the mentioned timing and heat.

Can I dry a spike (cone) from echium bushes?

Yes, you can dry a spike (cone) from echium bushes. Cover it completely with silica and let it dry for about 2 weeks. You may need to mount it on another stem later. Use a sufficient amount of silica gel and store the excess for future use.

Can flowers be resined after drying?

Yes, dried flowers can be used for resin crafts such as making coasters or sun catchers.

Can I use silica gel to preserve already dried flowers that have been hanging upside down?

Once the flowers are thoroughly dry, it is not recommended to use silica gel. Instead, consider using a craft spray made specifically for preserving dried flowers.

What is the risk of developing silicosis with this product? Is it dust-free?

Using silica gel without a proper mask can lead to silicosis, so it's important to wear a full-face filtered mask. This product produces dust, which can settle on your eyes and lungs. Keep pets away from it as well.

Does silica gel work for drying succulents?

It is unclear if silica gel is suitable for drying succulents, but it is an interesting idea worth exploring.
