Do you need to soak floral foam?

Can you soak dry floral foam?

How do you saturate floral foam?
The best way to wet a foam block is to let it do what comes naturally – let it pull in the water. Just set the dry foam block on the surface of a basin of water with the water at least as deep as the thickness of the block.
Why is my floral foam not absorbing water?
If you mistakenly used dry flower foam for a fresh-cut flower arrangement, you would discover your mistake quickly. Because of the formulation and density of dry floral foam, it will not absorb or take up fluid readily, if at all, when placed in water.
