Flowers
I was given a very large bouquet of flowers in a pot with floral foam. How do I maintain these flowers? How do I water them? Do I replace the foam with soil?

Well! I think you must study about the flower and its soil requirement for proper growth and nourishment.

Flowers in a bouquet with the foam block won't have roots so planting them in soil won't help them last. There are only certain plants if treated with a rooting promoter and a fresh cut at the end, can sprout roots if placed in soil but it can take a long time. There is a flower food powder you c an add to water either in the container it came in or another to help cut flowers last as long as possible. Keep them cool and out of direct sunlight. The foam is more for the artistic help, so heavier flowers don't droop off edge of container but will stay where artfully placed. The foam has nothing to do with helping cut flowers live. But if the cut ends don't go all the way to end of foam or the foam doesnt absorb water well, they can wilt sooner without ease of getting to the water.

typically from what i know, these types of arrangements arent meant to last very long thats WHY they come in a foam block sort of thing. they mostly use them for funerals and only last a few days unless you want to pull ALL the flowers out and put them into a vase of water with flower food.....
