About this deal

A floral foam is a lightweight, porous, and highly dense material that can be cut into almost any shape. Flowers that are cut with this material are supported by it in both water and when wet. By incorporating floral foam, you can extend the life of your flower arrangements and keep them on top of their water. You can easily make floral foam. Soak the foam in water for several minutes until saturated. Foam spheres, for example, are an excellent way to create stunning hanging floral arrangements. A round shape is ideal for centerpieces and funeral arrangements, and crosses can be used to create beautiful arrangements.

When preparing for a large event, save design-day time by prepping utility containers (like this Lomey Designer Dish) in advance. The Royal Horticultural Society announced in January 2020 that floral foam would be banned from all RHS Shows from 2021. This means that world-famous horticultural events, including the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, will no longer allow designers to use floral foam in their displays, prompting floral designers to trial alternative eco-friendly products or techniques. And because OASIS® Floral Foam is renowned for its water retention, you will be amazed that very little water leaks from the floral foam!

So, you can cut in half, cut into chunks, round the edges or cut to suit your design. The first floral foam was produced by the Smithers-Oasis Company in the 1950s. Floral foam is a single- use plastic foam. In addition to being able to support a flower or foliage stem, it can support more than 50 times its weight in water. Aquatic organisms are harmed when floral foam is consumed, according to a study published in 2019. A floral foam structure, like a honeycomb structure, consists of chambers connected by passageways that allow water to pass through. The cellular structure of a plant’s stem can also be found in floral foam. Water moves directly into the plant’s water vessels as a result of a stem being cut.

Dry floral foam can also be cut and shaped easily with a serrated knife or floral knife too. But remember, it doesn’t need to be soaked! Both can easily be cut into any shape and won’t crumble.

Perfect for crafty projects!Wet Floral Foam can be cut dry or wet. Measure your container or space where you will need the floral foam to fit and either use a serrated knife or floral knife to cut to size.
