Waterbeads FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are water beads?

    Water beads are a super-absorbent polymer. They’re about the size of a poppy seed when dry, and can expand up to 100 times their original size after absorbing water!

  • Can I order water beads in bulk?

    Yes, water beads in bulk orders are available or you can select multiple 200 gram packs. There are approximately 12,000 beads per 200 gram pack. If you need to purchase by the KG we can help you.

  • How long do water beads last in a vase?

    Our water beads come in 10g sachets. Simply soak the contents of one sachet in 1.2 L of water for roughly 8 hours – overnight is perfect – and voila! Your once tiny beads are now the size of marbles and are ready for use.

    Water beads are for decoration only. Use them in vases, centrepieces and indoor plant displays. Not a toy. Keep away from children and pets. Swallowed beads can cause a blockage. If swallowed, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.

    Please note: Our product is not a toy. Water beads can be a serious choking hazard.

  • How many water beads do I get in a pack?

    Individual bead counts are below (approximate only):
    - 10 grams = 600 water beads
    - 50 grams = 3000 water beads
    - 100 grams = 6000 water beads
    - 200 grams = 12000 water beads (about 24 L when soaked)

  • Are Jelly Beads and water beads the same thing?

    Yes. Water beads and Jelly Beads both use a super-absorbent polymer to expand to around 100 times their original size. They are also known as water crystals, water balls, gel balls, water marbles, crystal soil and magic fairy beads.

  • Are your water beads good value?

    Yes, at the time of writing this we are not aware of any online shop based in Australia, that holds Australian stock with water beads cheaper than ours. And if you find a product at a cheaper price we’ll match it (please see T&C’s for price match details).

  • Are water beads safe?

    Water beads are a decorative product, not a toy. Used as directed for vases, plants and displays they do the job beautifully, but they must be kept away from children and pets. Swallowed beads can expand and cause a serious internal blockage. If swallowed, seek medical help straight away (Poisons Information Centre 13 11 26).

  • What are the most popular jelly bead colours?

    Based purely on sales the colours that we ship most frequently are clear, purple, turquoise, blue, red and pink. However, the most beautiful colour in our opinion is turquoise – it looks absolutely stunning!

  • Do you ship everywhere in Australia?

    Yes, we certainly do! We ship nationwide. Regular shipping is free. Express Post is a flat $10.

  • Where to buy Water Beads in Australia?

    Naturally we recommend Water Beads Australia for a quick online purchase, with friendly customer support.
