Which technique uses a grid to support a floral arrangement?

• A. Anchor Tape
• B. Dry Foam
• C. Grid Method
• D. Floral Tape

Answer: (C)

This technique centers on creating a lattice across the top of the container to hold and position stems. The grid method builds a framework—often with clear florist tape or a plastic grid—that covers the rim and provides multiple anchor points for each stem. This grid distributes weight, keeps stems from shifting, and lets you place flowers precisely from all sides, which is especially useful for tall or wide arrangements and for achieving clean, organized lines without relying on foam. Anchor tape, dry foam, and floral tape all involve different ways to secure stems, but they don’t establish that top-opening lattice. Anchor tape secures stems to the container or to a surface; dry foam provides a foam base that grips stems; floral tape is a binding material used in various methods. The grid method is distinguished by its grid structure that supports the arrangement from the opening itself.
