I bought a case of 5x5 pouches to test. The product is easy to hydrate and use. It isn't messy, which means no floral foam microplastic dust particles everywhere.
I was able to get stems in easily, and the product holds stems really well. If you remove stems to place them somewhere else, you can still use that original spot, unlike floral foam, which compacts together once a stem goes in, leaving it hard to put something else there.
The arrangement I made stayed well hydrated and things stayed in place. I hydrated 3 pouches but only used 1; 5 days later the 2 extra pouches are still nice and moist!
Love this!
