What is the use of floral foam for inserting fresh flowers?
Main content introduction: Experience in flower propagation, the use of floral foam for inserting fresh flowers, let's learn about it together next.
Sometimes floral foam is included in bouquets, and it's a pity to throw it away, so some flower enthusiasts ask what the use of floral foam for inserting fresh flowers is. Although it cannot be used to plant flowers, it can be used for cutting propagation because the foam has a strong water absorption capacity. As long as there is water at the bottom, it can maintain a full water content, making it a suitable medium for cuttings!
I have used it, and it is very useful for transplantation. I have successfully propagated jasmine and money plant. I put the foam into an empty large flower pot, insert the cuttings, water the top of the pot every day, place four wooden stakes to block the sun, and put it in a semi-shaded and semi-sunny place. Roots will appear in 30-45 days. When there are many roots, carefully break them, partially buried in the soil, convenient and useful for seedlings.
The timing for transplanting is when you see small white roots appearing on the floral foam. If the roots are too long, they are easily broken during transplantation, affecting survival. When transplanting, plant the foam along with the roots, and over time, the foam will decompose.
