Keep your Christmas tree looking its best with these top tips. Enjoy a longer-lasting, needle-free festive season and savour the traditional fragrance of a real Christmas tree.
1. Choosing the Perfect Christmas Tree
When selecting your Christmas tree, keep these tips in mind:
- Needle Check: Ensure the tree has minimal needle drop by gently rubbing a branch.
- Colour and Variety: Choose a tree with the appropriate colour for its species (e.g., deep green for Nordmann Fir, blueish for Blue Spruce).
- Initial Care: Cut an inch off the trunk and score the base to promote water absorption.
2. Safety First
- Placement: Position the tree away from heat sources and candles.
- Stability: Securely place the tree in a sturdy stand.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure easy access to the power outlet and unplug lights when not in use.
- Pet Protection: Consider using a guard to prevent pets from climbing the tree.
3. Keeping Your Tree Healthy
- Water Regularly: Keep the water level high to prevent needle drop.
- Avoid Direct Heat and Sunlight: These can accelerate drying.
