Oasis Instant Floral Foam Maxlife - 48 Pieces

Fast saturation and dependable medium-density stem support make everyday fresh-flower production more efficient without sacrificing hydration. The OASIS® Instant Floral Foam Maxlife – 48 Brick Case is Smithers-Oasis' professional wet floral foam for everyday designs, combining the familiar medium-density OASIS® structure with perforations that promote faster water absorption. Each brick measures 9" x 4" x 3" and is pre-scored at 1/2 and 1/3 for easier portioning and reduced waste. Maxlife technology is formulated to maximize flower hydration and support longer-lasting fresh arrangements, making this case a practical choice for retail flower shops, wedding florists, event studios, funeral florists, and other professionals producing roses, carnations, poms, liatris, and a broad range of everyday fresh-flower designs.

OASIS® Instant Floral Foam Maxlife is designed as a versatile everyday foam rather than a heavy-density specialty brick. Smithers-Oasis positions the medium-density formulation for common floral materials such as roses, carnations, poms, liatris, and other standard fresh-cut stems, while the perforated Instant construction speeds water absorption compared with non-perforated Standard foam. That balance makes it especially useful for daily shop work, vase and container arrangements, wedding production, sympathy designs, centerpieces, floral gifts, and recurring event work where dependable stem placement and efficient prep both matter. For oversized tropical stems or especially top-heavy designs, OASIS® Deluxe or Instant Deluxe foam is the heavier-density alternative.

To hydrate the foam correctly, place the brick gently on the surface of clean water and allow it to float and sink naturally under its own weight. Do not push, hold, or force the foam beneath the water. Forced submersion can trap air inside the foam, creating dry areas that may prevent inserted stems from receiving adequate water even when the outside of the brick appears saturated. Once fully hydrated, cut or portion the brick along the factory score lines as needed, secure it appropriately inside the container, and insert freshly cut stems firmly enough to make good contact with the saturated interior. Avoid repeatedly removing and reinserting stems into the same hole because excessive insertions reduce holding strength.

Keep an accessible water reservoir around the foam whenever the arrangement format allows and replenish water as the flowers consume it. For everyday stems such as roses, carnations, poms, and liatris, the medium-density structure provides a useful balance of grip and ease of insertion. If the design uses thick tropical stems, very large flowers, or substantial top-heavy materials, move up to OASIS® Deluxe or Instant Deluxe Floral Foam for greater mechanical support. Do not allow saturated foam supporting fresh flowers to dry completely, because previously hydrated foam cannot be effectively restored once fully dried.

Who Uses This: Professional wedding florists, event and corporate floral designers, retail flower shops, funeral and sympathy florists, hotel and hospitality floral programs, floral design schools, production studios, and wholesale buyers who need dependable medium-density wet floral foam for everyday fresh-flower work.

What is the difference between OASIS® Instant Floral Foam Maxlife and OASIS® Instant Deluxe Floral Foam Maxlife?
OASIS® Instant Floral Foam Maxlife is a medium-density foam designed for everyday fresh-flower arrangements and common stems such as roses, carnations, poms, and liatris. OASIS® Instant Deluxe uses a heavier-density foam for thicker stems, tropical flowers, larger arrangements, and designs that need stronger mechanical support. Both versions use perforations to promote faster water absorption. Choose Instant for routine production and Instant Deluxe when additional stem grip is the more important requirement.

How should OASIS® Instant Floral Foam Maxlife be saturated?
Place the foam on the surface of clean water and allow it to absorb water and sink naturally under its own weight. Never press or force the brick underwater, because forced submersion can trap air inside the foam and create dry zones around inserted stems. Once saturated, keep the foam supplied with water throughout the useful life of the arrangement. If the foam completely dries after initial saturation, it should not be relied on for normal re-wetting and fresh-flower hydration.

Important Use Note: Use passive float-and-sink saturation only. Never force floral foam beneath the water surface, as trapped air can create dry areas inside the brick. Once previously saturated floral foam has completely dried, it cannot be effectively re-wetted for normal fresh-flower use.
