Hmm-I not sure which is which. I have used the kind that florist use in live arrangements as opposed to the kind used in silk arrangements. You can find it in large cubes at Michael's...just make sure you get the right kind.

I used the foam when rooting roses but I've never used it for any other type of proagation and I don't think I needed it. If you are having success w/o it I'd keep doing what you've been doing.

I have used it before (the green smooshy kind) It works well but it is a little pricey to start cuttings in.

Hi Laura,
Thanks for your response. After doing a little more research, it seems that both products are made of the same material. I think the Oasis root cubes are made more for propagation uses and the foam for flower arranging, but I think you could use either. By the way, did you have any luck rooting roses in the Oasis?

I have a method that I use. I used to have excellent results. (I'm doing other things now besides roses) I wonder if I have a copy of that on file? Yes! I do. If you want a copy send me an email and hopefully I'll get it!
