"POOJA JAIN: Hi. This is Pooja from Valaya FNP today on behalf of Expert Village. The oasis in weight is not even 5 grams but once it is soaked in water it becomes a weight of more than a kg and that is how it is ample of water. So when you have placed the arrangement, even if like this, no headache of changing water in this arrangement; it is just that you need to pour some more water to it. As it's a very soft sponge, it is very easy to break or to cut. Once the oasis is placed, the only thing that you need to be careful is you cannot take the oasis to the brim of the vase because you need to stack flowers and stack the foliages well to it. Once the oasis is placed here, we would be using the jute."
