FAQs
Are these stones safe to use with live flowers in water?
Yes, they are safe for use in water, but they do not provide any biological benefit to real plants. Ensure you clean the stones regularly if using them with water to prevent algae growth.
How many vases will one 2-pack fill?
The amount depends on the diameter of your vase, but typically a 2-pack is sufficient for two large cylindrical centerpieces or four smaller bud vases.
Can these be used outdoors?
While they are durable, long-term exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures may eventually cause the acrylic color to fade or the material to become brittle.
Are the stones uniform in size?
Yes, the stones are manufactured for consistency, providing a uniform, polished look that is difficult to achieve with natural decorative rocks.
Do I need to wash them before first use?
It is recommended to give them a quick rinse with clean water to remove any manufacturing dust that may have settled in the box.
Troubleshooting
Stones look dull after repeated use
Rinse with water and a tiny amount of mild detergent, then polish gently with a soft cloth to restore the shine.
Stones are sliding around too much in a wide vase
Ensure the vase base is completely flat and use a larger volume of stones to increase the surface tension and stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your display, ensure your vase is clean and completely dry before pouring in the stones. Pour them slowly to avoid scratching the interior surface of the vase.
Compatibility: These stones are compatible with most standard glass and acrylic vases. While they can be used with water for fresh floral arrangements, they are purely aesthetic and will not provide nutrients or filtration to live plant roots.
Care Instructions: If the stones collect dust or debris over time, simply pour them into a colander and rinse them with cool water and a mild dish soap. Allow them to air dry completely on a lint-free cloth before returning them to your vase to maintain their high-gloss finish.
