GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FLORAL FOAM

Correct Saturation Method

Let the brick float freely on the water surface by itself until it is completely submerged. Do not try to force the brick to absorb water. Submerging the brick by hand will not deliver the best results and will cause dry spots within the foam.

Proper soaking means longer lasting blooms for your flowers.
