Oasis Advantage Plus Fresh Floral Foam

Not every arrangement needs the heaviest foam or the most specialized construction — but every arrangement needs foam that performs reliably, preps fast, and doesn't cut into margins on high-volume production days. OASIS® Advantage® Plus Fresh Floral Foam, 48-Brick Case is the all-purpose, everyday professional foam from Smithers-Oasis — the company that invented water-absorbing floral foam in 1954 and built the most recognized and trusted brand in the floral industry. Advantage Plus delivers the consistent OASIS quality professional florists rely on in a light-to-medium density, pre-punched brick built specifically for day-to-day shop production at a price point that makes sense for volume buying.

At a Glance:

• 48 bricks per case — 9" L × 4" W × 3" H each
• Light to medium density — reliable stem grip for everyday floral designs
• Pre-punched with holes — faster water absorption than non-punched foam
• Pre-scored at ½ and ⅓ for accurate cutting with less waste
• All-purpose formula — dust-free, odorless
• In stock — ships from our Florida warehouse
• Free shipping to all 48 contiguous U.S. states — included in listed price

The Advantage Plus is the right foam for the work that fills most professional production schedules — everyday arrangements, retail shop inventory, holiday volume orders, everyday vase work, and any design where light-to-medium density provides sufficient stem grip without the cost premium of heavy-density or certified biodegradable foam. The pre-punched hole construction accelerates water absorption during prep, reducing soak time and keeping production moving. Dust-free and odorless, it's clean to handle at volume. Each brick cuts cleanly along the pre-scored half and third lines, so fitting foam to containers is fast, accurate, and generates minimal waste across a full production day. At 48 bricks per case, it's the format professional shops, event studios, and wholesale supply buyers rely on when they need OASIS performance and need to manage cost per brick at scale.

How to Soak and Use OASIS® Advantage® Plus:

• Float and sink method: Place the brick holes-side down on the surface of clean, room-temperature water and allow it to absorb and sink naturally — the pre-punched holes accelerate saturation, typically reaching full absorption in under 90 seconds
• Never force the brick underwater and never hold it under a running faucet — forced absorption traps air pockets that become permanent dry zones, causing flowers in those areas to wilt regardless of surrounding moisture
• Add flower food or floral preservative to the soak water for extended bloom longevity
• Cut stems at a 45-degree angle immediately before inserting to maximize water uptake and foam contact
• Use the pre-scored lines to cut bricks cleanly into halves or thirds — score-guided cuts reduce crumbling and waste across high-volume production
• Trim foam to fit snugly in its container — a tight fit prevents shifting during transport and display
• Important: Once soaked foam is allowed to dry out completely, it cannot be effectively re-wetted — keep soaked bricks submerged until ready to use

Who Uses OASIS® Advantage® Plus: Retail flower shops running daily production volume, event florists managing large-scale arrangement builds, sympathy and funeral florists producing high quantities of everyday pieces, floral design educators supplying classroom use, hospitality and hotel floral programs, and wholesale buyers supplying professional studios and shops with dependable everyday foam at cost-conscious per-brick pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the difference between OASIS Advantage Plus and OASIS Deluxe Maxlife?
A: Two meaningful differences. First, density: Advantage Plus is light-to-medium density with average stem grip, designed for everyday flowers — roses, carnations, poms, mixed arrangements. Deluxe Maxlife is heavy density, built for larger stems, tropicals, and top-heavy arrangements that require stronger foam grip. Second, certification: Deluxe Maxlife carries OASIS's Maxlife biodegradable certification (verified 75% degradation in one year per ASTM D5511). Advantage Plus does not carry the Maxlife certification. For everyday high-volume production where cost per brick matters, Advantage Plus is the practical choice. For premium events, tropical work, or clients asking about sustainability, Deluxe Maxlife is the right foam.

Q: Does the pre-punched construction on Advantage Plus actually make a difference in soak time?
A: Yes — the pre-punched holes create direct water entry points throughout the brick rather than requiring absorption to work inward from the surface. This noticeably reduces saturation time compared to non-punched foam, which matters in a busy production environment where multiple bricks are being prepped simultaneously. Full saturation is typically reached in under 90 seconds using the float-and-sink method with punched foam.

Q: What is the most cost-effective way to keep a professional studio stocked with reliable everyday floral foam?
A: The 48-brick case here at our everyday wholesale pricing — with free shipping to the lower 48 already included in the listed price — delivers OASIS professional-grade foam at the lowest per-brick cost without a separate account, minimum order, or quote required. The price shown is what professional florists, event studios, and retail buyers pay.
