What exactly does this do for plants?

Simply put the small packet of beads into water. The water beads will expand, and you pour off the excess water. Put the remaining beads into a clear glass or plastic vase or bowl and insert your plant or fresh flowers.They readily absorb water and leach it out to plants. They are non-toxic and reusable. Simply rehydrate when they begin to shrink.
Water Beads are tiny pellets made of a Polymer and are sometimes referred to as polymer crystals or crystal soil.
Super Absorbent Polymers are most commonly used by manufacturers of disposable diapers to avoid leaking therefore, it retains “water” for longer periods of time.
Water Beads absorbs water to increase in size more than 100% giving it an almost gel-like feel that’s cool and wet to touch.
They come in 11 vibrant colors which can be used for both live and silk floral arrangements for weddings, receptions, special events, parties as well as home décor and design.

HOW TO USE WATER BEADS?
Drop one packet of water beads into a 2 liter bottle or bowl.
(Note: To add fragrance, replace water with water based liquid potpourri)
Let stand in water/water based liquid potpourri for 4-6 hours. (4 hours with hot tap water. 6 hours with cold tap water.)
(Note: Hot water will help the water beads absorb water faster giving you less time to wait if you’re pressed for time).
Once they’ve absorbed water to their full potential, use a kitchen colander to drain off water and rinse.
