floral foam

Flower arranging block

Floral foam is a lightweight, porous material used to hold cut flowers in arrangements.

Florists cut blocks of it to fit containers: She pressed the roses into the floral foam.

Traditional versions are not biodegradable, prompting environmental concerns in the industry.
