What is Flora Gel?
Flora Gel is extra-large clear polymer crystals that are non-toxic, UV sensitive & biodegradable. Designed for the floriculturist industry to help preserve the life of cut flowers, while also being aesthetically pleasing. Flora Gel can absorb & retain water & liquid fertiliser, allowing plants & flowers to draw it when required. This is how the look & life of cut flowers is extended. Flowers are able to be stored, packed, transported & displayed without extra handling.
What is Flora Gel Used For?
Flora Gel is used in displays & centrepieces for a range of occasions including weddings, parties & themed events. When flowers are used, Flora Gel can replace an oasis or florist foam to hold the flowers in place. An oasis or florist foam needs to be covered & hid in the display; Flora Gel becomes a part of the display, even adding to the overall look. It can be dyed a range of colours & layered to match the occasion or theme. It has also been used to give the appearance of floating candles, to extend the burn time for essential oils (smelly jelly) & many other display effects in the entertainment & hospitality industries.
Application
Once water is added to the crystals, they will hydrate in minutes but for full hydration leave for 12 -24 hours. The application may vary depending on the use required. Standard application is 2 teaspoons of Flora Gel to 1 Litre of water. If colour is wanted, add dye to the water before adding it to the Flora Gel. It can be re-used if rinsed before storage & re-hydrated when used again.
For use in oil burners, hydrate Flora Gel & coat with essential oils. Rehydrate the gel once it has shrunk if you wish to reuse it.
