What is floral foam?

Floral foam is a type of foam that is often used by florists to hold flowers in place in arrangements. It is made from a plastic material that has been infused with a water-retaining compound, making it ideal for holding flowers and plants in place for extended periods of time. Floral foam comes in a range of shapes and sizes, and can be cut to fit any size or shape of vase or container. It is also available in various densities to suit different types of flowers and arrangements. While floral foam is popular for its convenience and versatility, it is not biodegradable and can have negative environmental impacts. Alternative sustainable options such as chicken wire or reusable floral frogs may be used in place of floral foam.
