Review on 🌈 MarvelBeads Rainbow Pound Water Beads by John May

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bought for plants. fell apart in less than a month

I've seen some pretty cool pics of people having these beads in plants instead of soil and thought that would be a great idea if it worked would. I sorted all the clear pearls to have the look I had in mind and soaked them overnight. I was very pleased with this look after planting my freshly rooted pothos in these translucent gel balls. After a few weeks, the top spheres began to shrink due to lack of water. I added water again to get the pearls to grow again. They grew and I drained the water again, but over time the beads lose their ability to stick together and just fall apart and I only have one large vase of soft beads and a whole other jar of beads that aren't broken. still been used. I think I'll end up pulling out my poor plant, planting it in soil and giving up the idea. I hope this saves you some experimentation and dollars.
