The tradition of decorating fresh cut Christmas trees to ring in the holidays’ dates back to the mid-to-late 1800s in the United States. The allure of a live tree is in the fullness of its branches, the fresh pine smell, and environmentally-friendly aspects. Caring for a live Christmas tree requires preparation and daily maintenance. If you’re thinking of choosing a live tree over an artificial option, follow these simple care instructions.
Choose a safe location. Live Christmas trees must be kept away from heat sources, such as electric heaters, wall units and fireplaces. Ensure that the base of the tree is secure to prevent the tree from toppling over.
Water your tree frequently. To keep your Christmas tree healthy and green, it will need to be watered daily. Larger trees may need up to a gallon of water each day. Slowly pour water into the pot until it begins to seep through the holes on the bottom.
Decorate your tree. Just like artificial Christmas trees, live trees can be decorated with your favorite lights, bulbs and a star on top. Always follow the instructions on the lights and do not use more strings of lights than recommended for the tree.
