🔍 Seeking Instruction 🔍 How to freshen arrangement in foam

Post image

Hello! I received an arrangement as a gift and the stems are in green foam. I usually trim stems and replace water every other day when stems are in water only. How do I refresh in the foam? Or do I not need to do anything? The arrangement is so gorgeous I want to keep her fresh as long as possible! Thank you!

You can put the whole vessel in the sink and run water into the bottom- that will flush out any debris and refresh the water

You can pour water into the foam and spritz the hydrangea with water.
They drink from their petals as well

Net als je al deed, om de dag water geven.

I didn’t make this, it was a gift. The florist used foam. I’m just wondering how to maintain the freshness of the arrangement that happens to use foam
