How To Make Your Real Christmas Tree Last Longer
Real Christmas trees are beautiful; however, if you buy them too early, then they’re often dead by Christmas day. Therefore, whether you’ve bought your tree yet or are late to the party, here are a few ways to make your real Christmas tree last longer. The needles of a healthy Christmas tree should feel soft and supple; if they feel brittle, then don’t buy the tree. When you bring your tree home, you should cut around a half-inch off the stump to improve water intake. You should be watering your tree every day to ensure the trunk doesn’t seal up. Choose a stand that can hold a large amount of water; this will allow the tree to drink more water and stay healthy. To prevent your tree from drying out, keep it away from heat sources and opt for LED lights.
