Using florists` foam with orchids?

by "Kate" <@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 20, 2008 at 10:10 PM

It occurred to  me that the foam that florists use for live flower
arrangements holds a great deal of water and I was wondering if a disc of
it
in the bottom of a pot, with expanded clay pellets as the growing medium
would work.  The foam should keep the pellets moist.  Or, pieces of the
foam
mixed in with clay pellets?  It wouldn`t drown the roots, but water would
be
available. Trouble is, I don`t know how soon the foam would break down. 
Any
thoughts for or against, please?
