The hard foam base is a favorable alternative for plastic and ideally used where no border is needed for the design as it can easily be covered with foliage. The base is water-repellent, stable and gives the composition the necessary hold. Both OASIS FOAM FRAMES, as well as OASIS ECOBASE Products are equipped with this base.
The recycled carton base is usually found within the Sympathy range of all OASIS BIOLIT Products. It is made out of papier-mch and is therefore environmentally friendly. The structure of this base gives arrangements the needed hold. Products that include this base can be used in cemeteries without a problem. They are also compostable when shredded.

The Easy-Click-System
Some OASIS ECObase Hearts and the OASIS ECObase Cross have a unique similarity: the Easy-Click-System. At the bottom of these products click-locks are embedded. In these click-locks both wooden legs as well as suction cups (ECObase Vacufix) can be easily and securely connected. This way a heart, equipped with this system, can be used in many ways: for wedding floristry, funeral floristry or for room and table decoration. This avoids a double stock keeping. Please note once the application method is chosen, switching between the wooden legs and suction cups is no longer possible. It's that simple: Push the wooden legs with the small side in the click-lock. Due to the different lengths of wooden legs (always 1 short and 2 long per pack) the finished arrangement is positioned at an angle. The arranged surface therefore is positioned in an a way that the arrangement can also be seen from a distance. or Push the ECObase Vacux suction cup in the click lock until they are stuck. Should the suction cups be hard to insert, the tips can be lightly sprayed with Floralife Leafshine. Like this floral arrangements can also be securely attached to slippery surfaces. To take the arrangements off again, lift the edge of the suction cup up with the finger tip. Like this air can enter into the vacuum space, and the suction cup will come off the surface. TIP: The surface has to be clean, dry and oil-free because otherwise the holding power of the suction cup cannot be guaranteed. Also a newly polished car varnish can reduce the holding power. The polish should be taken off with warm water, detergent and a lint free cloth (leather cloth). We do not recommend the use of the suction cups on matt, post-lacquered or laminated surfaces. We do not accept responsibility when used on these surfaces.

Bouquet holders
Smithers-Oasis offers several bouquet holders for every occasion. Please pay attention to the following points: Long stems need to have additional support and be anchored to the plastic holder base with wire. Whilst arranging the design, always make sure the stem ends are inserted deep enough in the floral foam to provide them with the water they need. Spray the finished bouquet with OASIS Clear Life or Floralife Finishing Touch. They inhibit evaporation and lead to a long lasting freshness. When using OASIS Clear Life, always make sure to spray the bouquet from a distance of approximately 30 cm, to avoid staining the flower leaves.

OASIS Fix Waterproof, very strong adhesive fix tack. Ideal to fix floral foam in containers or candles to floral foam by means of Pinholders or Pini-Extra. TIP: Shape the desired quantity (approximately 3 cm is often sufficient) to a small sphere and push it to the bottom of the Pinholder or Pini-Extra. Then heat it up (eg. using a lighter), which increases the adhesive power. When you would like to fix floral foam to a container with OASIS Fix, always make sure the container is dry and clean. In case you would like to attach candles to floral foam, the candles have to be pre-treated: candles have an invisible layer, at the same time a colour layer. This layer should be taken off, because otherwise optimal fix cannot be guaranteed. ATTENTION: Do not apply on car lacquer! Store at room temperature. The adhesive fix tack can be easily taken off from ceramics with hot water. Art. No. old 6010 Art. No. new 31-06010 Description OASIS Fix 10 mm x 5 m Green

FERTILISERS
Floralife liquid fertilisers are organic mineral NPK fertilising solutions, enriched with brown algae (exc. Floralife Hydrangea Fertiliser Blue) and all necessary spore elements. They reinforce the resistance of plants and stimulate the plant characteristic hormone production. Floralife liquid fertilisers are excellently absorbed by plants. This way there is an environmentally clean fertiliser at a good price/quality ratio. The sales units are optimal, to create additional sales: the appropriate fertiliser can be sold together with the plant.

This foldable stand is made out of strong wood and is securely attached to the product base. It can be easily folded open and closed again. For the presentation of the product, the stand is folded open, for a flat transportation it should be closed.
Segmentation lines
Large and heavy OASIS Products are produced with "segmentation lines", a specialty being introduced by Smithers-Oasis. These are small separations in the floral foam that interrupt the water column to minimize the water drainage. This prevents the upper section of the product from drying out due to drainage. Nevertheless it is important to pay attention to the following: While arranging, the product has to be placed horizontally on the working surface. The product will let some water escape from the floral foam when flower stems are inserted. For this reason the finished arrangement has to be placed upright for a short amount of time, before it is delivered at the final location. This way the water drained by the flower stems can be released and puddles of water at the final location can be avoided.

TIPS: After the delivery in the flower shop, the flowers have to be recut, dipped into Floralife Quick Dip and placed immediately into a Floralife Flower Food solution. Water with Floralife Cut Flower Food doesn't have to be changed on a daily base. It is sufficient to fill up the base with the correctly dosed mixed solution when needed. eg. in the shop. As a rule of thumb: when the water visually isn't drinkable anymore, the water should be replaced. Instead of making a separate mixed Floralife Cut Flower Food solution for every individual vase, it is recommended to make a large quantity, to fill up all the individual vases. This will save you a lot of time! To make the mixed solution you can use a regular 10l watering can (for 10L water you need 100g or 100ml Floralife Cut Flower Food.) Water mixed up with a Floralife(r) solution should not be used in a metal or lead vase. If you will continue to use metal vases in the flower shop, plastic or glass inserts should be used.

Single Brick
1. Use the float soak method and place the OASIS Floral Foam brick (or any portion of it) onto the top of fresh water.
2. A container which can hold water that is double the depth of a brick is ideal, as it allows the water to circulate freely around and into the brick.
3. Let the OASIS Floral Foam absorb the water until it rests at the surface or sinks to the bottom of the soaking container.
Multiple Bricks
1. Use the float soak method and place the bricks evenly apart onto the top of fresh water.
2. A container which can hold water that is double the depth of a brick is ideal, as it allows the water to circulate freely around and into the bricks.
3. Be patient! Wait until all bricks are fully soaked before removing as ripples in the water can ride over the bricks and cause dry spots.
TIPS: Place the floral foam on the water. Do not pour water on top of the floral foam brick! Change the water regularly and clean the tank carefully with Floralife Cleaner, to avoid the bacterial growth in the tank. Never push the brick under water or turn it around in water!

Special shapes and bases require a special soaking method. In general it is important to consider the following rules: Use a container that is large enough to soak the shape both width and depth.
Use a technique that enables the air inside the foam to leave and be replaced with water.
151
Floral Foam with a plastic-, hard foam, wooden or recycled carton base
Special attention should be paid to all OASIS floral bases with a plastic, hard foam, wooden or recycled carton base to ensure the floral foam is fully soaked on the base, especially when there is a higher plastic edge surrounding the shape. These bases should not be placed horizontally on the water level as the air cannot escape meaning the floral foam will not soaking correctly which results in dry spots. In those circumstances it is better to soak the shape in a vertical position, guiding it slowly into the water. (Keep hold of the shape as it will get heavy when soaked).
In some cases it is not possible to use a big container because of a lack of space. For those circumstances we advise the following: Place long shapes (OASIS Raquettes) in a long, low rectangular container (Balcony tray), filling it up regularly with a new solution when necessary.
For large round shapes (OASIS Wreaths) a long, (low) container is best. Slowly rotate the shape in the water and continue this procedure until the entire wreath is soaked. Fill it up with a new mixed solution when necessary.
Place special, large shapes (OASIS Titan Heart) with the plastic, wooden, hard foam, recycled carton base flat on the floor and water these with a watering can. Always start in a corner and very slowly move to the other side of the floral base, allowing enough time for water to be absorbed. (Moving too fast will result in dry spots.).

V.L. Smithers
About us
Vernon Lewis (V.L.) Smithers was born on July 22, 1890. His career, and eventual path to the floral industry, began in the 1930s, when he was the owner and operator of V.L. Smithers Laboratories, an independent testing laboratory for the tire and battery industries in Akron, Ohio. Sometime after this, V.L. Smithers realized his strong desire to be a manufacturer to make something and sell it! The start of a new business was born from pure coincidence. V.L. Smithers happened to be glancing at a floral arrangement he had given his wife, and thought, If I could find a way to get water into foam, perhaps it would be used as a base for floral arrangements. Eureka! OASIS Floral Foam emerged.
