The honest answer depends on the balloon, and on the room.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An 11 inch latex balloon filled with helium floats for about half a day indoors. Treated inside with a gel, the same balloon lasts about three days. Foil balloons hold helium for a week or more, and the big foil numbers often last two weeks (sample).<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat makes balloons pop and cold makes them sink, so keep them out of a hot car and away from radiators. For a party on Saturday afternoon, collect latex on Saturday morning; foil can come home on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Half a day for latex, three days treated, a week or more for foil: when to collect for your party (sample).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-balloons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43\/revisions\/68"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elementor.ltheme.com\/lt-halloween\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
