Origins of Floral Foam
In 1954 a gentleman named V.L. Smithers pioneered the water-absorbing foam for florists and changed the floral industry. Floral foam, whether wet or dry allows the floral designer to create beautiful arrangements that will hold and stay fresh and vibrant with its steady supply of water. Wet floral foam needs to be saturated in water prior to use where as dry floral foam can be used without water.
Using Wet Floral Foam for Fresh Floral Arrangements
Wet floral foam is designed to hold water for lengthy periods of time which makes it the ideal floral foam choice when working with fresh flowers. Start with either a pre-made shape or one you’ve cut yourself. After fully saturating the floral foam in water, (see the guide on how to soak floral foam) it can be placed in any type of waterproof container to your liking or used just the way it is after which you can start adorning it with fresh flowers. The fresh flowers will remain hydrated between seven to 10 days. Continue to add water to the container once daily so that the foam is kept wet.
