VIGOR PATH 30,000 Large Water Gel Beads: Versatile Decorative Pearls for Elegant Weddings, Floating Candle Displays, and Stylish Event Decor (Clear)

I love these little water beads! They are perfect for vases to hold flowers and tiny branches, or to make an interesting elegant tablescape in a large clear container with fun objects in the middle since the beads are 'invisible' and the objects look like they are floating. A tiny handful, teaspoon or tablespoon is all it takes to make up a small food storage container full of beads and it doesn't take long [a few hours] for the beads to get to their full size in the water. I plan to try these out for propagation of plants and flowers since the fully expanded beads can hold up the tiny stems, as well as larger twigs on bushes. This container should last me a very long time, but I may also come up with more ideas so I may get more.

These water beads were EXACTLY as described, and just what I needed. They absorbed full capacity after 8 hours of soaking, held their integrity, and worked great for our project. I'm currently drying them out to reuse.
