CARING FOR YOUR REAL CHRISTMAS TREE

 

There’s no better feeling than hand-picking your perfect Christmas tree – it really celebrates the start of the festive season.

But after the struggle of getting it home, it’s important to keep it looking fresh and knowing how to properly care for your tree can be the difference between it looking full and healthy or sad and bare. So here are our easy tips for looking after your real Christmas tree.

5 Steps to Help Care for your Real Christmas Tree

 

1 - Take your tree out of its netting as soon as you get it home.

2- Place your tree in the location to allow it to adjust to room temperature gradually.  Do not place next to fires, radiators or on underfloor heating.

3 - Cut a few centimetres off the bottom of your tree and place in a stand with a water reservoir.

4 - Allow your tree to relax  before decorating it.

5 - Water your real tree every day to keep it looking plump and full. A dehydrated tree will start to droop and wilt very quickly, so moisture is the essential ingredient in looking after your tree. A real Christmas tree can drink  lots a day depending on its size and your heating.
