➜ Galax leaves can comfortably remain dry-packed in the cooler for up to 3 days before processing, though conditioning on arrival will provide the best longevity

➜ If dry storing, monitor moisture levels inside plastic sleeves—while they prefer a bit of humidity, too much can cause leaves to brown and rot if left unchecked

➜ Recut stems at a sharp angle before conditioning in fresh water, allowing an hour or so of hydration before designing

➜ Condition in very shallow water and appropriately sized buckets (vases sometimes work better for galax leaves, size-wise), keeping the leaf blades above the water line

➜ Separate leaves gently after hydration if they're compressed from shipping—forcing them apart while dry may crease or tear the foliage

➜ Galax performs beautifully in fresh water arrangements, floral foam, and wearable flowers with minimal water

➜ If wiring galax for corsages or boutonnières, insert the wire carefully through the base of the leaf to avoid splitting the blade

➜ The glossy side of the leaf is typically displayed outward, though both sides can be used creatively depending on the design

➜ Store in the cooler until design time to preserve the rich green color and natural shine

➜ Keep leaves flat during storage whenever possible to help prevent permanent creases
