Using Floral Foam for Flower Arrangements

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Susan Paxton for Expert Village. Today we're talking about flower arrangements, specifically for your dining room table. We went through some of the containers that you could use for a flower arrangement. Baskets, little buckets, just anything that you might have around the house. But now we're going to talk about what to put in the container in order to do an actual small low arrangement for your dining room table. I'm going to use this small arrangement cup that will hold some foam in order to put the flowers in. Now the floral foam comes in a brick and you can buy this at any floral store or craft store. It can be cut to any shape you want. This is the type used for fresh flowers. There is another type that is out there for your silk flowers, and it's a little bit different density so make sure you get something that is for fresh flowers. This particular oasis or floral foam has holes in the bottom so that it soaks up the water and holds it well. I have a couple of bricks of it soaking, very wet, very drippy, but as you can see it changes color when it's wet. It's a little darker. It's easy to handle, and very easy to trim. I just use a regular knife to cut it.
