What you get

All you need to grow your magic crystal garden in an attractive box.

How does it work?

The secret to the crystal growth is in the saturated crystal solution. Once the garden has been slotted together, place it into a plastic dish containing the saturated solution (all included). The solution is then drawn up the special paper trees, mountain and garden by capillary action. The increased surface area at the extremities of the garden shapes results in a greater evaporation rate of the solvent leaving the crystal solute behind on the surface of the special blotting paper. Water soluable dyes in the tips of the garden help create a fantastic colourful effect.

FAQ

The garden is reusable. Once it has finished growing, turn the shapes upside-down, brush the crystals back into the dish, add water and away you go again. Crystal flowers will not be as large the second time around and colours will be different.
