Know before you buy
A Kenzan is a sustainable, reusable alternative to floral foam. It provides a stable, weighted base for your stems without the need for single-use plastics or chemicals, and it allows for better water circulation to keep your flowers fresh longer.
Yes. Despite their compact size, the brass pins are robust enough to secure both delicate grasses and sturdy, woody stems. The weight of the base ensures the arrangement remains upright even with heavier branches.
After use, simply rinse the Kenzan under warm water and gently brush away any plant debris from between the pins. Because they are made of brass, they are durable and resistant to rust, though drying them thoroughly after cleaning will help maintain their finish.
Yes, their 0.9-inch square footprint is specifically designed for versatility. They fit easily into small vessels, tea cups, or narrow-necked vases where larger floral frogs would not fit.
Generally, no. The Kenzan is weighted at 0.33 lbs, which provides enough stability for most arrangements. If you are working with an exceptionally tall or top-heavy display, you can use a small piece of floral putty to secure the base to the bottom of the vase.
