Improving Florist Workflows with OASIS® Floral Foam Dipping Tank

Jan 16, 2026

OASIS® Floral Foam plays a major role in funeral arrangements worldwide. From traditional wreaths to specialty shaped foam, florists work diligently to create meaningful tributes for their clients’ loved ones. To properly soak OASIS® Floral Foam, it must be set in water and left untouched until the water saturates every part of the foam. Hydrating the foam by pushing it down or by using a running faucet without a container can leave dehydrated sections of floral foam that are incapable of nourishing flowers.

While florists understand the importance of properly soaking the OASIS® Floral Foam, many funeral pieces are very large or oddly shaped, which can make it challenging to find a container that will accommodate them to follow proper soaking techniques. To help florists achieve the best possible saturation, Smithers-Oasis France developed a dipping tank that fits the largest available OASIS® Floral Foam wreaths and is longer than the biggest OASIS® Floral Foam raquette. This dipping tank ensures nearly any foam arrangement can be properly soaked and hydrated.

The OASIS® Floral Foam dipping tank is made from lightweight, durable, and recycled polystyrene, making it both portable and easy to store. Additionally, the tall sides of the dipping tank retain water to reduce waste. The OASIS® Floral Foam dipping tank simplifies everyday shop work for florists and gives them the means to produce high quality work.
