Watch this example.Soak the foam brick for 30 minutesprior to installation.IMPORTANT FLORAL TIP: Although the foam provides hydration, it is not enough for the flowers to ‘live’ in it alone. Meaning, if you build an arrangement in wet foam that is not submerged in a vase of water, the vase life of the flowers will be 1 day or less in hot weather months.HYDRANGEA: These buggers need A LOT of water so they do not thrive in foam alone. When building a foam-only arrangement, it is best to leave hydrangeas out until right before the event. If you’re using hydrangeas in a vase with water ANDfoam they will do just fine because the water in the vase will provide the proper hydration!Supply Quantity HelpSupply Quantity Help:The finished size of a cage depends onthe length of your stems. The shorter the stems, the smaller the finished cage will be. Personally, as a designer, I prefer to leave my stems longer and my finished cages end up being 2-3ft in width.For easy design, green out the cage with salal and leather leaf, then backfill with nicer greenery followed by flowers.
