Full details
The 7-inch Solid Heart Oasis Floral Foam is an essential tool for florists and DIY hobbyists looking to create structured, elegant heart-shaped floral arrangements. Featuring professional-grade OASIS Maxlife foam housed in a durable plastic base, this product provides a stable foundation and a constant water source to extend the lifespan of fresh flowers, though the compact 18cm size requires careful planning for larger stem volumes.

FAQs
Can I reuse this foam heart?
The foam is designed for single-use arrangements. Once it has been filled with stems, the structural integrity of the foam is compromised.
How do I ensure the flowers stay fresh?
Keep the plastic base reservoir filled with water and store the arrangement in a cool environment away from direct sun.
Can I use this for dried flowers?
Yes, it works well for dried or silk arrangements, though it is specifically optimized to hold water for fresh cut flowers.
Is the base waterproof?
The base is designed to hold water for the flowers, but it should be placed on a protective surface if being used on fine wood furniture.
How many stems can fit in this 7-inch heart?
Capacity depends on the size of the stems used, but generally, it accommodates 20-30 medium-sized flowers like roses or carnations.
Troubleshooting
Foam is not absorbing water evenly
Ensure you are not forcing the foam underwater; let it float on the surface of the water until it sinks naturally to avoid dry spots.
Flowers are wilting prematurely
Verify that the stems are reaching deep into the foam and check that the reservoir at the base of the plastic container is kept filled with water.
Stems are loose in the foam
Ensure stems are cut at a sharp angle and avoid re-inserting the same stem into multiple holes, which breaks down the foam structure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ready-to-use heart shape eliminates manual carving
- Provides continuous water source for longer stem life
- Sturdy plastic base prevents leakage and adds stability
- Professional-grade material suitable for both experts and beginners
Cons
- Compact 18cm size may limit the number of large-headed flowers used
- Not intended for re-use once the foam has been heavily perforated
- Plastic base is visible if not covered by foliage or filler
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the foam is thoroughly soaked but not over-saturated. If you notice the plastic base is showing, use greenery such as salal, ivy, or ruscus to create a lush "collar" around the perimeter before adding focal flowers like roses or carnations. Keep the arrangement in a cool area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maximize the longevity provided by the Maxlife foam. When moving the arrangement, lift it by the plastic base rather than the flowers to prevent stems from shifting or falling out of the foam.
