These lovely beads look very attractive when in vase, and also stabilize the flowers in it. They provide steady, slow moisture to your plants. Besides, once they burst, they supply valuable substances plants will appreciate.

Some indoor plants can work well planted in beads only, without any dirt or soil added. For example, Bamboo. Dragon plant, Arrowroot and all palms will also appreciate this lovely looking, moist environment. Of course, some plants cannot be planted this way, and they need soil to survive, while some others wouldn't mind a combination of water bead and quality soil.

They really look great, supplying water to your flowers, and decorating your lovely home on the most unusual way. They are available in many appealing colors hat can be very nicely combined. Except those clear ones, you can buy pink, yellow, green, gold, silver, blue or any other color you find especially attractive.
