This was amazing! I love the use of only one ingredient and no foam. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Stoked for this! I like working with Floral Foam (with the exception of the toxicity, waste, etc etc etc..) and when I first saw this, I thought it was real wool (yeah....). I just looked this up it seems like pretty great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Just stunning Alyssa!

Great tips and wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much, Sue!

thanks for sharing your knowledge! I'm lovin 'it!! I have a question, what do you think is one of the reasons why the hydrangeas sometimes they start to die immediately when they are in green foam or Agra wool? Thanks!!

So beautiful! How many hydrangeas did you use?

Beautiful! Question...how forgiving is it to re insert stems onto this new foam?

Hi! I enjoyed this tutorial, thank you for sharing! Q: did you have any difficulty inserting the hydrangea stems into the Agra-wool? How do you soak it when you are using a large sheet of it. Thank you!😊

Thank you! This is very similar to the installation I will be doing this Summer. I will be using hydrangea, roses, and dahlias. Do dahlia stems penetrate the agrawool? A little concerned about dahlias.

This is beautiful. thx for the tutorial. Any tips on keeping hydrangea from wilting once in the installation, especially for an outdoor event.

Thank you! These hydrangea are in agrawool, which is a compostable material that holds water. These hydrangea lasted several days before wilting! If you are creating this for an outdoor event and it's hot, I would recommend using a different variety of hydrangea, such as Peegee hydrangea, because it's doesn't wilt much- it more just dries in perfect form. You can also try to source the hydrangea locally, because it will last much longer if it's not sitting in a box being shipped for days.

I just discovered your website and turned into the biggest fan!!! This creation is so beautiful!!! Can you remember how many stems of Hydrangeas were used? p.s I'm all the way in South Africa!!!

Aw, thank you for this wonderful compliment!! I used EXACTLY 100 stems of hydrangea!

This gorgeous and I absolutely LOVE IT, but where are your pants from???😍

Beautiful! what would the price point be for an installation like this?

I've noticed the agrawool being difficult to use for more delicate stems. Or when it's too thick, the agrawool just pushes in without actually puncturing the wool. Do you have any advice?

Yes, it's definitely not ideal for really delicate stems. I tend to not use small, delicate stems for larger installations, but if I am using Agrawool for a centerpiece design, I will use a little stick or stake to poke a hole for the more delicate stem. This works okay if it's not hanging upside down (as it might be in an installation). I've recently started using the Oshunpouch for installations and like it a lot better because it doesn't drip and accepts more delicate stems more easily.

Do you have a link for the birdcage thingy? Would like to use these agrawool -- also did you find it harder to insert with softer stems (poking a hole first?)

you mentioned you would link the bases you used. I don't see those. Do you mind sharing?

How much would you typically charge for this?

It would totally depend on the price of the hydrangea, but I used exactly 100 stems. Let's say they are $4/each wholesale - I would charge around $1,600 for this.

Thank you! We chose hydrangea to support a small farm and to showcase that this sustainable foam product works well even on stems that really need hydration. Thanks for tuning in, even if you were bored while doing so 🤣
