Hello

How long will flowers last usually in a wreath thats made from wetfoam ? do they last longer if they are 'mossed' ??? I am getting so many different views on the subject. I need help thanks.

Flowers should last a week or so in normal weather in wet oasis. I wouldn't bother with moss its not worth the hassle!

when we send flowers i.e. arrangements, we spray them with chrysal glory,it seals in the moisture of the flowers, so they actually last longer. We did a test ourselves, it does work. Hope this helps.

The flowers in an Oasis wreath should last well over a week. Obviously weather extremes are a consideration, but as long as the flowers are conditioned well and misted it should last. You could tell your client that they will still look good upto seven days and then any longer they will consider to be a bonus and probably come back to you. Do not bother mossing unless you are making a wreath for a biodegradeable tribute using hazel instead of the wire frame.

Good luck.
