Serious question, has anyone else tried that new floral foam alternative from GreenGrow?

I used it for a big wedding arch job last weekend and it completely collapsed after 4 hours in the sun, so I'm looking for a better heavy-duty foam that can handle outdoor heat.

Ugh, same thing happened to my outdoor column arrangement.

Heard a similar horror story from a friend who runs a small shop. She tried that GreenGrow stuff for a simple table centerpiece at an outdoor luncheon. Said it got soft and mushy way before the food was even served, and the whole arrangement just kind of slumped over. She was so embarrassed in front of the client. It seems like it just can't take any real heat at all. I know she went right back to using the old school wet foam for anything going outside, even though she wanted to be more eco-friendly.

That's the exact problem with a lot of these green products, @harperg76. They're designed for a perfect indoor lab, not a real summer day. Maybe the real eco move is using reusable containers you can fill with regular wet foam.
