The correct way to soak floral foam is to let it soak in and don’t touch it and wait till it’s under water. The incorrect way to do it is to not push it down because it won’t soak all the way through. The stem will get proper care and water if you let it soak and don’t push it down.

Floral foam should be placed on top of the water. The foam should not be pushed into the water, but rather let it slowly submerge by itself. If the floral foam is soaked incorrectly, then the inside of the foam will still be dry, and flowers will not receive any water. Soaking floral foam is important for stem care because the flowers need moisture and water, which will preserve the vitality of the flowers.

The correct way is to let the foam soak all the way by itself so that the foam is completely soaked. The incorrect way is to push the foam in the water and only get the outside of the foam wet. It’s important Because it lets the stem get the proper care and water it needs.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to place it on the surface of the water and let it sink down. Eventually it will reach the bottom and will be filled with water. If you force the floral foam into the water, it will only get soaked on the edges and the middle, where the flowers will be, is going to be dry and not able to hydrate them at all.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to put it in a large tub of water and let it soak on it's own. When the foam isn’t soaked correctly, it will be dry in the middle. This is important because you want to flowers to stay fresh, and they won’t be fresh with dry foam.

The correct way to soak floral foam is placing in in water and allowing it to soak up the water itself instead of incorrectly pushing it down into the water not allowing it to fully soak. The foam needs to soak correctly because if not when you place the stem into it it will get no water since the foam didn’t have time to soak . correctly soaking the foam will allow the stem to get all the water it needs.

The correct way to soak wet floral foam is set it on top of the water and let it just soak in by itself. The incorrect way is to push it down yourself. If you do that the water won’t soak all the way through and when you put your stem in it won’t fully get water.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to let it sink into the water by it's self. If you push it down into the water the only the edges of the foam will have water in them, and the stems will not get any water. Soaking the foam allows the stem to get water without being in a bowl full of water.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to insert into water and let the foam soak water itself. The foam, if not soaked correctly, will be dry in the middle. Soaking the foam is important to the stem care because if not soaked all the way through, the stem will not have enough water to live in.

Soaking the is important for stem care because it helps keep the entire flower healthy. You have to let the foam fill without pushing it down because the water needs to reach the middle so the stem can get water. When you keep the stem in the foam block it can receive water from it to keep it alive.

To soak floral foam correctly, set the foam on top of the water and wait for it to submerge fully without touching it. If you push it down in the water, there will be dry spots in the middle of the foam. It's important that all the foam is wet so all the flowers have access to water.

The proper way to soak floral foam is to set it on top of the water and to let it soak by itself until it drowns itself in the water to fully soak itself. The incorrect way is too forcefully push the floral foam down in the water, the reason behind not to is because it doesn’t soak every part of the foam.

When you soak the foam correctly plants are able to insert and holds correctly. When soaked incorrectly the flower won’t enter correctly and won’t access water. It’s important to do it correctly because the flower won’t get water if you don’t.

Soaking floral foam is important because it keeps the flowers and stems hydrated while they are being displayed. To correctly soak floral foam, you must hold the floral foam in the water for a long period of time or leave the foam in the water for awhile so that all parts of the foam can absorb the water. Holding the foam in the water for for a short period of time is not correct because the water will not be completely absorbed into all of the foam piece.

Letting it sink down on its own will allow water to soak into the middle of the foam. If the foam is not correctly soaked in it can leave a dry spot in the middle of the foam not letting water get to the flower.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to rest it on the top of the water and allow the water to soak into it by itself. This ensures the water will soak evenly through the entire block. When done incorrectly the center of the foam will remain dry and since that’s were the stem would rest, the foam would not be used very wisely. It’s important that the stem gets water to maximize the time the flower stays alive.

You have to let the foam slowly sink in the water so it soaks in to the middle. You can not push it down because it will not get into the middle.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to leave the foam soakin the water and not to push it. If you push it in by yourself the water will not soak into the foam all the way and leave dry spots to where if you let it soak itself it will get all the water inside. It important to soak the foam since it absorbs all the water which means we can put flowers in the foam. It also provides stability for the stems of the flower.

The correct way to soak the foam block is by soaking it in the water. You have to make sure that you don't just push the foam block all the way in but you have to wait until it's completely soaked naturally by sitting there. The reason the block must be wet is because, if it's wet then the stem will have an easier time going into the block.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to let it rest on top of the water and slowly drift down this ensures the foam will get completely soaked and the flower will rest in the foam getting all the water it needs. The wrong way would be to push it to the bottom it won't soak properly and the center will remain dry ensuring that the flower will die from the lack of water.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to let it absorb water on its own and not hold it under water because it will soak unevenly. If the foam is not soaked correctly the middle will still be dry and it will be hard to put the stems in the foam. The foam needs to be properly soaked so that all the stems will have a source of water.

When soaking the floral foam, the correct way is to place the foam in the water then let the water absorb into the foam. If the foam is not soak correctly there will be no water in the middle of the foam which is not good for the flowers.

When you soak it incorrectly the water will absorb but it woun't fully absorb and it will be dry in the middle. It's important for stem care because if it's not fully absorbed the stem will not last long in the dry foam.

The right way to soak floral foam is by placing it in top of the water and letting it soak by itself, by doing it this way the foam will end up completely soaked with no dry spots. If it is not soaked correctly there will be dry spots in foam, which leads to the flowers dying quicker.

To properly soak florals foam, one wants to set the foam in the water and let it submerge itself. If you forcefully submerge the foam, it will not completely soak it and there will be significantly less water inside of it.

The proper way to soak floral foam is to put it in the water and let it fill up on its own. If you press it down into the water quickly, lots of bubbles will come out of it, but it won’t soak all the way through. Instead, the middle of the foam will be dry, so when you put the flowers in they won’t have any water so they’ll die. Therefore soaking the foam correctly is necessary for the stem to be able to carry water up to the plant so that it lives.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to set it in the water and let it soak in the water on its own instead of pushing it in. Pushing the foam in doesn’t allow the foam to be completely soaked to the middle leaving a pocket of air. This is important because the flowers need water and If the foam is not soaked right there might not be enough water.

The correct way to soak floral foam is to set the foam on the top of the water and let it soak by itself until it is fully underwater. The incorrect way would be to force the foam under the water. This is not the correct way to do it because it would not allow the foam to soak up the maximum amount of water that it can hold.

THE CORRECT WAY: Gently place floral foam onto surface of water in a bucket. If done correctly, the floral foam will submerge its self into the water and the water will soak into the center of the floral foam and therefore when you place a flower into the center of the floral foam, the flower will absorb the water and not die.

The correct way to soak the floral foam is to place it in the bucket of water and let it slowly fill up with water. By doing this the entire block of foam will be soaked with water. If you were to shove the foam into the bucket without allowing it to soak up the water, parts of the foam would be dry and when the flower is put in the middle there would be no water for the plant.
