Can these balls be soaked in water and used for fresh flowers or just fake ones?

Just for fake ones. The material for the natural flowers usually is a gren color and the material is softer. This particular item is not for natural flowers

I wouldn't think so, in fact I think they would be damaged by the high heat of a microwave oven. Drying them in a warm (not with the oven on, just after it has warmed up a little and then shut off) might work. My question is how did they become so saturated that the would need to be dried. They are not meant to soak up liquid water, just water (humidity) in the ambient air.

Yes, I would think so. I used them in my handmade soap. I pulled the petals off the hard center, and mixed them in. Wonderful for your skin!

I used them for flower vases instead of just clear water. The pearls float and get rather large and keep the flowers fed. I'm not sure what u mean by your pearls floating?

Yes, like sponges, but also no. First, they are thin(isn) and flexible, so they are like a dish cloth. Second, once wet, you can squeeze almost all of the water out and use them to dry things down. Third, because they are thin, they dry quicker and if you take good care to let them dry (like hanging them up with a clothes pin or something) they won't get "nasty". But if they do get sour, wet down and microwave, etc... and they are good as new. I will generally use the same cloth for MONTHS.

I don't believe that these are designed to be filled with water, I do believe they would leak badly. They work perfectly if you put approx 40 pounds of play sand (available at Home Depot) into each bag--good luck!

No, they are very pliable & would dissolve. Even when water touches them they begin to do that. I hope you are not trying to do something harmful to something unable to protect itself. If so, try it on yourself first.

I would say no. The material that they are made of wouldn't do well in water.

I don't see how. The pressure of the water rotates the small plastic part the water goes through. I love them though. They do a great job for their size. I add more each year for yard and flowers. They don't damage the flowers. I have used them now for about 6 years.

Yes you can. They are synthetic and don't absorb moisture. They dry quickly on a hook in my shower, but I believe a trip through the laundry is a good idea from time to time.

Sure, you can do anything you want with them, really. But if you want them to dissolve and work properly you need to put them in the wash tub, and not in the soap dispenser.

They're pretty thin, about 1/8", and made of balsa as well. Not sure I'd expose them to a lot of water, but you may get one or two decent stamps out of each one.

I do not see why you would need to since they are made of nylon netting, like the type used in shower puffs. You rinse and hang them to air dry in shower after each use. I suppose you could put them in a wash bag then put them in a washing machine, but not in the dryer! They will melt.

No. You soak the top section in water. It'll hold enough water to keep the flowers alive.

Hi Kathryn: I just rinse the seeds off before the initial soaking. I believe they are organic, so they should be fine. But contact The Sprout House if you are worried. Best, Sarah

yes you can. keep them in the ziplock bag. Drop a little water on them and they are sticky again.

Yes they are re-usable after wash and air dry - the opening is a bit smaller than that of a drink bottle. Use a small funnel to fill. We did not have any issues with leaks.
