Grow
beautiful crystals on this amazing magic tree within about 6 hours. Simply pour
the crystal growing solution into the plastic base and insert the specially
prepared paper tree. The crystal solution will soak into the tree and slowly
move up its paper trunk due to capillary action. As the solution evaporates
brightly coloured crystals are deposited all over the tree. A delicate treasure
that can be admired for weeks. Crystal colours vary.

Paper
tree, crystal growth solution, plastic base and instructions in a transparent bag. Non-toxic and
safe.
How
does it work?
The
pre-cut paper tree has been treated with a chemical that reacts with the crystal
growing solution. After placing the tree in the special solution leave it
undisturbed for several hours. However, if you notice uneven crystal growth you
may want to rotate the plastic base every 15 minutes or so. As the solution
evaporates and the tree dries, colourful crystals will start to appear. Within a
few hours your tree will be completed covered with crystal
blooms.

action and how the crystal growing solution is able to work against gravity
and reach the top of the paper tree. Just like water moving from the roots to
the leaves of real trees and plants.

FAQ
Even
if some of the solution has cyrstalized upon opening, the crystals will grow
just as well on the paper tree.
