Product Information
Full details
The Ambassador Wet Floral Foam Brick is an essential tool for professional florists and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, hydration-focused foundation for fresh flower arrangements. Its primary benefit is the dense, fine-cell structure that secures stems while providing sustained moisture for longer-lasting blooms. While these bricks are highly versatile for custom shapes, they are designed exclusively for fresh flowers and should not be used with dried stems, as they may cause unwanted moisture transfer.

FAQs
Can I use this foam for dried flowers?
No, this specific foam is formulated for fresh flowers and retains high levels of moisture, which can damage dried or silk arrangements.
How do I cut the foam?
Use a sharp, non-serrated kitchen knife to carve the foam. It cuts very easily to fit any container shape.
Does the foam leak water?
The brick is designed for low drainage, but it is always best practice to use a waterproof container or a liner underneath your arrangement.
Can I reuse the foam?
Floral foam is intended for single-use applications. Once holes are made for stems, the structural integrity is compromised, making it difficult to secure new stems.
Why is the brick turning yellow?
Exposure to direct sunlight or certain fertilizers can cause discoloration; store unused bricks in a cool, shaded area.
Troubleshooting
Foam is not absorbing water quickly
Ensure you are using fresh water and that you do not push the foam into the water; allow it to float and absorb at its own pace.
Flowers are wilting despite wet foam
Verify that the base of the foam is sitting directly in a small reservoir of water within your container to maintain constant wicking.
Stems are slipping out of the foam
Ensure you are not inserting stems too frequently in the same spot, which can break down the foam cell structure. Use a sharper knife to make clean, straight cuts for the stems.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Retains water effectively for extended flower life
- Easy to cut and shape for custom container sizes
- Holds stems firmly for stable, professional arrangements
- Fast absorption reduces setup time
Cons
- Not suitable for use with dried or silk flowers
- Single-use product once stems are inserted
- Requires proper saturation to prevent wilt
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure that you use only clean water for saturation to prevent bacteria from entering the stems. If you are reusing a container, wash it thoroughly before inserting the foam. While the brick is sturdy, it is susceptible to crumbling if over-handled; insert stems cleanly to preserve the structure. After creating your arrangement, monitor the water level in the container to ensure the base of the foam remains submerged, as the brick acts as a wick to supply moisture to the flowers. Store unused bricks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
