Orbiz are multi-colored hydrogel balls, often used for fun as a child's toy, but in fact suitable for decorating flower pots and even growing hygrophilous plants, for example.
Orbiz is made from environmentally friendly polymer-based materials. They are absolutely safe for both plants and animals. Initially, the size of the balls does not exceed 2-3 mm. After drinking water, it grows up to 1.5-1.8 cm in diameter.
Orbeez balls are sold in mini-packages (20-50 g each) and after soaking the package gives volumetric balls of 2, 8-5 liters.
How to grow Orbeez?
- Open the packaging and soak the balls (the entire pack) in clean cold water in a deep container so that they are completely submerged in water. Soak the balls in the water for five to six hours. The water can be at a slightly warm temperature, so the balls will swell faster.
- About a thousand peas of Orbiz balls grow in volume up to 3-4 liters in a few hours. Try to take purified, filtered drinking water. Hard water will prevent the liquid from quickly absorbing into the hydrogel and ruining the beauty of the toy.
- If the balls are large and designed for long-term growth, keep them for more than 24 hours (see the time on the package). Orbiz usually grows 100-300 times its factory size.
- Having absorbed moisture as much as possible, Orbis will become plump, round, of the same size, and will have a uniform color. Excess water should be drained. If you overexpose Orbiz in water (more than a week), they will begin to disintegrate and turn into a homogeneous mushy mass, reminiscent of wallpaper paste.
- The grown Orbis will retain its size for several weeks, but only if it is not stored in the light, in a closed jar or container. In the sun and in the heat, the balls shrink in one day.
Orbiz have amazing properties
They are so safe and non-toxic that they will not stain water, dishes or hands. They do not smell and will not leave marks on clothes. If you come across a fake: the balls will not gain enough weight, they will emit an unpleasant odor and even paint. Dispose of these products immediately - they can be life-threatening. And buy licensed balls from a trusted seller.
If the child unknowingly ate the ball (dry or swollen), do not worry - the hydrogel will come out on its own and in no case will dissolve in the gastrointestinal tract.
When the balls start to shrink, just fill them with water again and let sit for a few hours. And they will grow in size again. To keep the already used Orbis longer in size, add a little table salt to warm water. This will keep the Orbeez beautiful for longer.
Small balls can be grown often, and only once in the 10-15th they can become unusable. Large Orbis is suitable for growing fewer times, because cracks form on them faster. Play with balls while they are new.
