Is Floral Foam Good For Plants?

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.
