Which method involves placing stems through a grid to stabilize the arrangement?

• A. Floral Foam
• B. Grid Method
• C. Pin Holder Frog
• D. Floral Wire

Answer: (B)

Stabilizing stems with a lattice keeps the arrangement secure while preserving clean lines. The grid method creates a lattice over the container—using a florist’s grid or a similar mesh—so stems can be inserted through openings and held firmly in place. This anchoring gives precise control of spacing and form and prevents shifting during handling or transport. Floral foam relies on water-soaked material to grip stems, a pin holder frog uses pins into a base to secure stems, and floral wire binds stems without a grid structure, so they don’t accomplish the same grid-based stabilization. Therefore, this method is the grid method.
