Her: Epic Trim
An expert explains how to extend their lifespan as they are expensive and it is good to keep them in excellent condition for as long as we can to make them and our loved ones happy.
Anna Eklov, the creator of LOV Flowers, is an expert in plants. So through her website she gives instructions on how people can keep their true Christmas tree alive. The first condition is to choose a good quality tree. In the second year it is important to rest it and in the third to keep it as far away from the heating as possible while keeping it hydrated.
You can do the same if you just buy some branches or make a wreath of real fir. In case of a decoration with branches you can add cinnamon and dried orange peels in order to naturally flavor your space.
You can also add a decoration with Alexandrina which give a special atmosphere to the space, so that you bring nature to your home.
Tips:
- Rest your tree for 24 hours in a room or space that is warmer than the outdoors but a little cooler than your home. This way the tree is not shocked when placed in the heat.
- It is also recommended to cut the trunk of your tree, also helping the spruce to last longer.
- Cut the trunk again before putting it in the water is also a big factor in how long your tree will last.
- It is also important to water the tree regularly. If you pour too little water on the tree, a resin will form, which will prevent the tree from absorbing moisture. At least 500 ml per day is recommended
- Do not plant the tree in sand or soil. This will only prevent him from drinking water effectively. Therefore, it is advisable to spray it one by one in the places where you have not put lights at the bottom of the tree.
- Use a humidifier to keep your tree fresh and try to keep it away from direct sunlight, the oven and the heated fireplace.
