How To Use our Floral Foam Alternative

1. Prepare the Pouch: Using a small tool such as a skewer or toothpick, puncture small holes evenly throughout both sides of our eco floral foam alternative. Aim for approximately 10-12 holes per side to ensure proper hydration.


2. Hydrate the Pouch: Fill a container with water and submerge the floral foam substitute completely for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to fully hydrate. This step ensures that the OshunPouch, a floral arranging floral foam substitute, is ready to provide optimal support and hydration to your flowers and stems.


3. Arrange Your Flowers: Once fully hydrated, the OshunPouch® is ready to use. Insert your flowers and stems securely into the pouch, arranging them as desired.


4. Keep Hydrated: To maintain the freshness and longevity of your floral arrangement, it's essential to keep the OshunPouch® hydrated. Check the water level regularly and replenish as needed to ensure the best results.

OshunPouch® is best suited for day-of arrangements, providing ample support and hydration for your blooms. However, we recommend testing it with your specific flower materials and display conditions beforehand to ensure optimal performance.

Does OshunPouch® drip and/or stain surfaces?

OshunPouch® drips less than foam and other alternatives, but each designer's experience may vary. To avoid potential drips or stains, we recommend covering your work area with a protective cloth while working and removing the floral foam alternative for final placement, as is commonly accepted for events.

What kind of flowers can be used with OshunPouch®?

Test OshunPouch® with your specific flowers and conditions before use. For weaker stems like TULIPS or RANUNCULUS, pre-drill the pouch membrane for added protection. Thirsty flowers like HYDRANGEA may benefit from being placed in a container with OshunPouch®️ for easy rehydration.
