Anybody have any experience using those mini plastic lulav holders meant for aravos-hadasim? Supposedly can keep in fridge and no damp towels needed

And I bought these little plastic tubes to put water in.
This. I have been doing this for years. Most years I do not need to buy new aravos but it depends on how the calendar falls out.

IME if Arovos are surrounded by many (36) Haddasim and put back into the plastic Lulav bag, it will keep everything airtight enough so that they stay fresh enough until Hoshana Rabba.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Why would one have 36 Haddasim?

My aravos and hadasim are in a holder. So I slide that off and wrap that up.

Same and I always wonder why this isn't the practice of the masses
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Then the holder gets moldy from the moisture of the papertowel
