How to look after your smilax

Your smilax is going to arrive in a box, in that box will be a bag filled with smilax vines.

First and foremost, do not take the smilax out of the bag until you are ready to use.  It is not an easy job to get back in the bag! Your smilax does not need conditioned like regularly greenery. It lasts up to two weeks without a water source.

When you receive your smilax, open the box. Then open the bag and check the condition to make sure that it did not get too hot or cold during transit.  The bales (this is what we call the rolled-up smilax) are compressed to fit in the box, so gently reach through the middle and fluff the vine inside the bag, lightly mist and fold over the top without sealing the bag. Store in a cooler or cool room, out of the sunlight, until ready to use. 

Do NOT allow the smilax to freeze. During the majority of the season, the smilax is hardy enough to last two weeks or more in a cooler and several days in an airconditioned room.
