Our Koch & Co Silica Gel Flower Drying Preserving Crystals (flower drying crystals) is a thirsty, granular compound that offers the best method of preserving the natural beauty of fresh flowers and bouquets. When poured over flower heads, it absorbs the moisture with little damage to the flowers.

Koch & Co silica gel is reusable and comes with orange water indicating beads. The colour of indicating beads will change from orange to dark green when the silica gel is no longer active. You can easily re-activate the beads by heating the silica gel in an open container in your oven or microwave, at a temperature of between 115 and 125°C. When the indicating beads return to their original orange colour, let the Silica Gel cool and then store it in a sealed container until you are ready to use it again and then store it in a sealed container until you are ready to use it again.
