Compostable –Similar to biodegradable but going one step further, compostable materials provide nutrients to soil once they have broken down. Products may be certified OK compost INDUSTRIAL or OK compost HOME - or both. There may be a bit of trial and error at first when putting flowers in floral foam, so if you need to remove a stem, clip it off at the edge of the foam, rather than completely removing the stem and leaving a hole.Why should we use floral foam? Flowers can be stabilized by it. Water is held in floral foam, which is essential for the longevity of fresh flowers. If you’re using large stemmed flowers or designing a large arrangement, add more strength to your design by placing florist netting over the floral foam. Add a grid of waterproof tape to hold the netting and foam securely in the container. Deluxe: a higher density foam to hold large and sturdy stems like tropicals and woody stems. It can be used for all flowers. The use of floral foam should be carefully monitored due to the presence of hazardous chemicals. If the foam becomes trapped in water, the flowers may die before they have an opportunity to develop. Instead of soaking the foam in water, soak it in water for the flowers to absorb the nutrients they require. Oasis Bio Foam: A More Sustainable Floral Foam 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.

You will be surprised how easily the stem goes into the OASIS® Floral Foam and stays in place. Like magic! The main difference between wet and dry OASIS® Floral Foam is that wet floral foam is designed for fresh flowers and absorbs water to provide a water source for your designs.
