I've seen a clear jel being used, made from crystals?.  I supposed it's
nicer to use than dirt.  I was just curious what florists want with
something that sucks up water and doesn't like giving it back.  (They also
have that dense green foam, handy if you're into casting.)

Some florists sell potted plants, it occurred to me that they could use that
in their marketing - "Our stuff it still alive after a week".  They probably
should be careful with that, might not go down too well in hospitals.
