How To Use Crystal Accents With Roses
There is a warning on the back of the bags of Crystal Accents stating that they are not recommended for roses. 95% of the time roses do well in Crystal Accents but this warning was put on the back to cover the 5% where there have been problems. In order that roses thrive in the gel, the following method is recommended by a major US rose grower and works every time without a problem:

• Add one full packet of Crystal Accents to 3.785 litres of water.
• Allow four hours for Crystals to expand.
• Drain off any excess water using a strainer or colander.
• Pour 3-4cm of expanded crystals in to the vase or bowl the roses will be going in.
• Add 1cm of fresh water to the crystals (Note: the water will percolate down to the bottom of the vase or bowl).
• Finish filling up the vase or bowl with expanded crystals.
• Cut ½cm off the rose stems and place stems all the way down to the bottom of the vase.
