One of the most basic floral design products is floral foam. We have multiple sources and kinds of foam in our warehouses. To properly hydrate them, follow these basic guidelines. First, get a large tub of water and fill it up. Place the bricks of floral foam into this tub and allow them to absorb the water until they float levelly on the top. Do not place the bricks under running water or push them beneath the water to speed up absorption. Doing either of these will cause air bubbles to be trapped in the foam which results in pockets of dry foam. These pockets of dry foam will not work to hydrate the stems you are pushing into it.

If you need the floral foam to soak up water faster, look for Instant Floral Foam. This type of foam is designed specifically for faster water absorption.
