Maximize the Life of Your Christmas Tree🎄

Caring for your Christmas tree is easy, and with a little attention, you can keep it looking fresh and smelling amazing all season long!🎄 

Pick the Perfect Tree 🌲 Choose a tree that looks healthy—bright, shiny needles and a nice, full shape are key. A heavier tree means it’s fresh, as it’s lost less moisture since being cut.

Transporting Your Tree 🚗 When you pick up your tree, it will probably be wrapped in netting. This helps protect it during transport. Keep the netting on while you cut the trunk straight for a stable base.

Watering Time 💧 Once you get home, place the tree outside in a bucket of water for a day or two to let it drink up before bringing it indoors. The more water it takes in, the better!

Set It Up Right 🎄 When you’re ready to bring the tree inside, set it up in a stand that holds water. Cut off the netting, then fill the stand with water—always keep the base submerged. Check the water level every couple of days and top it up as needed to keep your tree hydrated and happy.

Avoid the Heat 🔥 Keep your tree away from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, or direct sunlight. This will help keep the needles fresh and keep your tree looking great for as long as possible. Make sure it has space around it for air to circulate, too!

Recycle or Repurpose 🌻 When Christmas is over, many councils offer tree recycling. You can also keep your tree working for you by shredding the branches and using them as mulch in your garden to keep weeds at bay.

With these easy steps, your tree will stay vibrant and fragrant all through the holidays💚
