Some of you may have mentioned this stuff before, but I just tried this stuff, and it's pretty cool. It i decorative color beads to use in vases and things to keep moisture in plants etc. It isn't the garden, or potting soil stuff, but I would guess very similar and does the same thing. But, these make pretty cool humidors used in 35mm film canisters. Once added to water, it swells and takes on the water. As they deplenish their moisture, the crinkle up and dry out, then ya just soak them in water again to rehydrate them. Kinda cool stuff.. Various colors if ya want to get creative.
This is how they come, then the big one is after it is hydrated.
I put 20 pellets in one canister.
this is various staged as they take on their water. The right just after a few minutes, to the left which is after about 30 minutes.
This is dumping them out after they are hydrated.
