FAQs
Can these be used in an aquarium?
These pebbles are decorative and have not been tested for aquarium safety. It is recommended to stick to products specifically labeled for aquatic use to ensure they are non-toxic to fish.
Are these pebbles heavy?
At 750g, the total pack weight is manageable, but they are dense enough to provide good stability for tall floral arrangements.
Will the color fade in sunlight?
The black pigment is integrated into the glass, so it is resistant to fading even if placed in bright, sunny spots.
How many packs do I need for a large vase?
For a standard 20cm diameter vase, one to two packs are usually sufficient for a base layer; larger displays may require three or more.
Are they safe to handle?
Yes, they have a smooth finish, though they should be kept away from small children due to the small size which is a potential choking hazard.
Troubleshooting
Pebbles look dull after prolonged use
Mineral deposits from water often cause cloudiness. Soak the pebbles in a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar to restore their shine.
Pebbles shift when placing flowers
Add water to the vase first to help the pebbles settle, then insert the flower stems at an angle to allow the stones to lock the stems into position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the pebbles, rinse them under cool, running water to remove any dust accumulated during packaging, then pat them dry with a clean cloth before placement. They are compatible with most standard glass containers, including cylinders, bowls, and candle lanterns. To maintain their appearance, periodically remove the pebbles and wash them with mild soap and water to clear away mineral deposits from tap water. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may dull the pearlised finish over time.
